Celebrating Community: Middlesex Savings Bank and GrotonFest 2025
Middlesex Savings Bank has been a proud supporter of GrotonFest, Family of Festivals, for many years now. They have been one of the essential partners in growing this celebration into what it has become today—and in 2025, their involvement continued to make a meaningful impact.
Throughout the year, the Groton team from Middlesex Savings Bank showed up time after time, demonstrating what it truly means to be committed to the community. Their support went far beyond sponsorship—they were present, engaged, and ready to help wherever needed.
Showing Up for the Community
During GrotonFest Spring, Middlesex Savings Bank hosted an informative booth where their team connected with festival-goers, answered questions, and offered practical solutions to members of the Groton community. At the same time, they stepped in to support the GrotonFest planning team directly by volunteering behind the scenes.
Their team helped with essential logistics throughout the day—offloading vehicles, directing vendors, and assisting with vendor setup. This hands-on involvement made a significant difference and helped ensure the festival ran smoothly. The same spirit of service carried through each and every festival throughout the year. No challenge was too big or too small, and they never hesitated to lend a hand.
Their financial support also played a crucial role in strengthening the infrastructure of the GrotonFest Family of Festivals during the past year, helping the event continue to grow in both scale and quality.
Creating Moments of Joy Across the Seasons
Middlesex Savings Bank is not only generous—they’re a fun and enthusiastic group who understand that community is built through shared experiences.
At GrotonFest Fall, they added extra magic for families by bringing in a balloon artist who delighted children throughout the day, filling the festival with color, laughter, and imagination. During the same festival, they also sponsored the now-beloved donut-eating contest, a high-energy moment that brought the community together in laughter and friendly competition. That playful spirit reminded many of the classic town-festival traditions of years past and has quickly become a favorite staple at GrotonFest.
Later in the season, at GrotonFest Winter, Middlesex Savings Bank sponsored a truly special experience by bringing in the Harvard Alpaca Ranch. More than just an attraction, it became a gentle, joyful interaction for the town—giving children and adults alike the chance to meet, learn about, and connect with these wondrous animals. It was a moment of calm, delight, and wonder that perfectly captured the heart of the winter festival.
A Trusted Local Partner
Beyond GrotonFest, Middlesex Savings Bank is also an important partner of the Groton Business Association, working alongside local businesses and organizations to strengthen the town year-round.
