WAKEFIELD — Town Day is tomorrow on the Lower Common from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and represents another chance to show our community spirit.
This year, the Chamber of Commerce is taking the lead in organizing the event, with support from the town’s Economic Development Coordinator Erin Kokinda and Communications Director Jenn McDonald.
Chamber of Commerce Executive Director John Smolinsky appeared before the Town Council earlier this month to provide an update on preparations for this year’s event.
He noted that Town Day brings people together in a welcoming manner for family-friendly activities. About 70 vendors are expected this year, including a number of town departments and committees.
Smolinsky said that meetings have been held with the Police Department and other town officials to help pull the event together.
Town Day will feature at least nine food vendors, Smolinsky said. There will also be a beer vendor. Activities will include face-painting, jugglers, music performances, a DJ and more.
The Health Department will be offering flu and COVID shots at Town Day.
Smolinsky reminded the board that last year’s event was held despite a steady rain making for soggy conditions. This year, he said, a rain date had been scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 28. Eighty percent of the vendors have indicated that they would be available for the rain date.
