markets, music, bocce, sullivan challenge, motorcycles, and more
It should be no surprise that JulyFest is coming up this week.
This year, JulyFest will be in the McKim Middle School field, but there will also be some music in the Civic Centre on Saturday night.
You’ll be able to access the food and market vendors without purchasing a ticket.
It costs $10 each day to be in the bocce pits, which is where all the action and music will be.
Live music at the Civic Center is $20 a person.
