Grab Tickets for Zullo Funk Fest on Friday, June 7

Tickets on sale now; tune suggestions welcome -- let us know your definition of "funk!"

The Zullo Gallery is shaking tradition with its 10th annual fundraising festival this year and turning it into a "funk-raising" festival from 7-11 p.m. on Friday, June 7!

While the day of the week is different, this year's Funk Friday Festival is once again supported by lead sponsor Needham Bank, and will continue to feature food from virtually every dining establishment in Medfield, a live auction, an original art sale, and all-inclusive ticket with wine and beer as part of the price, and an overall fun and lively community party under the big tent. Auction items include a Martha's Vineyard stay, Beetlejuice on Broadway tickets, and a birthday party with Kurt Jackson.

This year's Funk Friday Festival will also feature:
