Help bring CultureFest to Medfield!

You are invited to make the first annual CultureFest a reality!

This FREE family-oriented event is scheduled for Oct. 8 at the expansive Bellforge Arts Center property in Medfield.

CultureFest started as a seedling of an idea: to create an opportunity for residents in Medfield and surrounding towns to celebrate all different cultures through food, music, dance, activities and more. Bellforge Arts Center and Medfield Together have partnered with a dozen volunteers throughout the town to plan and develop CultureFest, a celebration of diversity.

But we need your support!

Your donation will support outstanding performers, including an Asian lion and dragon dance troupe, a Caribbean steel drummer and a Latin music band, as well as provide opportunities for our younger attendees to experience an African dance workshop, storytelling by Kurt Jackson and music by a Boston youth ensemble. Attendees will enjoy traditional foods from around the world served by food trucks, shop for specialty items and explore services offered by vendors throughout the day.

You can help create the first CultureFest in Medfield!

To bring this vision to life, we are asking for your support. We want to make CultureFest a community event that is funded and supported by the community. Instead of corporate sponsorships, we are asking for donations of any amount from those, like you, who want to build this vision together.

Will you help make this vision a reality with a tax-deductible donation of any amount?

All donations will go directly to funding the event.

In addition to contributing to the event, every $10 you donate will give you an entry to win one of three prizes valued at $100. Prizes will include food and beverages from our food trucks and various items from our vendors.
