Downtown Natick Nights Returning In 2021

NATICK, MA — The Natick Center Cultural District (NCCD) is bringing back the weekly Natick Nights arts and entertainment program this summer.

Natick Nights will be held every Thursday evening beginning June 3. Each Thursday will feature a new event, from outdoor street performances to shopping events and new gallery exhibits. Natick Nights will run until July 29.

The reemergence of Natick Nights comes as Massachusetts prepares to reopen fully on May 29 after more than a year under pandemic restrictions. Organizers say the weekly event will help local businesses and institutions recover by bringing foot traffic back into the downtown area.

"As we cautiously move towards fully reopening businesses as well arts and culture programming, the NCCD hopes that events such as Natick Nights would provide the community the much-needed impetus to visit Natick Center and support local businesses and artists, that make our downtown so unique and vibrant," organizers said in a news release.

This year's Natick Nights is receiving a boost from the MetroWest Visitors Bureau, which provided grant funding through the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism (visitma.com)
