Committed to our Community
Welcome to the GrotonFest Family of Festivals—four unique festivals held throughout the year in the heart of Groton, MA!
Since 1979, GrotonFest has brought our community together to uplift local businesses, highlight the work of talented artists and artisans, and connect residents with the nonprofits that support Groton and its neighboring towns. At its core, GrotonFest has always been about people, connection, and community pride.
Produced by the Groton Business Association, each festival shines a spotlight on the rich character, creativity, and spirit of our region—making GrotonFest a joyful tribute to everything that makes our town feel like home.
Our Spring, Fall, and Winter festivals have become beloved traditions. And in 2025, we proudly introduced GrotonFest Kids, expanding our family of festivals and welcoming even more moments of joy, discovery, and togetherness.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you at our next event!
Beloved Year after Year!
Drawing visitors from near and far, our festivals are must-see celebrations that deliver unforgettable experiences and unique offerings every time!
