Lynnfield Day Celebration, Formerly Geraniumfest, Announced

Town's longstanding Geraniumfest celebration will now be known as Lynnfield Day - Saturday, May 18th on the common.

While last year marked the 25th anniversary of this popular town event, there were also considerable questions at the time about its future because of the need to attract new volunteers.

Fortunately, the event will remain a Lynnfield institution - but with a new name. Below is an announcement from Townscape, a Lynnfield-based organization dedicated to preserving and planting trees in town, about this event's future.

As always, you can order some geraniums this spring to help Townscape fund its mission of keeping Lynnfield beautiful.

Check out this photo gallery from the 2012 Geraniumfest. And while we're at it, here's a look back at the 2011 celebration.

The following is the text of Townscape's announcement about this event, its continuing mission, and its 2013 Geranium sale fundraiser:

For over 25 years, Townscape has hosted GeraniumFest, Lynnfield’s celebration of spring. This year we transfer this event to Lynnfield's Recreation Committee and the inauguration of Lynnfield Day. Many of your favorite aspects of GeraniumFest still remain; the same quality geraniums, the Library’s Used Book Sale, Lynnfield’s Art Guild exhibit in the Centre Congregational Church, crafters, children’s games, food, as well as many more, new & exciting additions. Lynnfield Day will be Saturday, May 18th on the Common.
