Brookline Village Is Having A Party, Watch For Road Closures

BROOKLINE, MA — Brookline Village is having a party. On Sunday, June 9 the streets will be closed for the fifth annual Village Fair with music, games and food along Harvard Street and throughout Brookline Village.

Organized by a team of local businesses and members of the community each year, the Village Fair aims to be a way to bring the community together, to celebrate everything that makes Brookline Village such a great place to be.

"Our goal is to bring people together for a fun afternoon: to hear great local music, meet their neighbors, eat good food, and enjoy their neighborhood," reads the fair's website.

From noon to 4 p.m., watch for a short section of Harvard Street to be closed to cars but open for pedestrians to wander around. There will be a stage for music, as well as spots for games, crafts, and face-painting, among other family-friendly activities.

The Village Fair will also feature the 4th Annual Road Race–this is a one-mile afternoon race planned by the Brookline Extended Day Advisory Council and the Town of Brookline. Proceeds will be donated to support after school programming for low-income and at-risk elementary school children in Brookline.
