The town of Norwood is known for so many of its celebrations; the 4th of July event, Norwood Day, the Holiday Extravaganza, just to name a few. But often, small festivities are the moments that make ordinary nights into something special.

Throughout the summer, Norwood offers an array of musical entertainment that residents of all ages will enjoy and create an extraordinary evening.

The Summerfest Concerts are held every Wednesday evening from July 6 through August 24. These groups often provide sounds from numerous eras and have the audience on their feet dancing, or at least tapping their feet and bobbing their heads to familiar music.

Summerfest is held on the Norwood Town Gazebo, 7-9 p.m.

Summerfest is presented by The Norwood Arts Council, a non-profit organization of citizens dedicated to promoting the arts. It is through the efforts of these members, and the contributions from the Town of Norwood, local businesses, and private citizens, that Summerfest is possible. Thank you Norwood Arts Council and all those who donate so the community can enjoy a fun, entertainment evening together!
