There will be local entertainment aplenty, including local DJ Time of Your Life Entertainment spinning tunes all day.
The award-winning NRHS a cappella singers, NOTEorious, will wow the crowd with their performance, along with planned exhibitions from Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy (which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year), the North Reading School of Ballet, East Coast Dance Center, and the O’Shea Chaplin Academy of Irish Dance.
The Reading-North Reading Chamber gladly offers Town Day completely free of charge, including parking, shuttles, bounce houses, pony rides, and entertainment performances due to the generosity of the event sponsors, which includes signature sponsors The Savings Bank and Route 128 Honda. The events, permits and police details are paid for by booth vendors and generous sponsors, all without funding from the town.
“For local businesses, being a sponsor and having a booth is a great way to get in front of your current and potential customers at the biggest North Reading event of the year,” commented the Chamber’s marketing manager Jamie Bradley.
