The Town of Wakefield and the Wakefield Area Chamber of Commerce will host Town Day on the Common. Stop by the Friends of Lake Quannapowitt table at Town Day on the Lower Common. See the work we do, learn about the latest happenings around the lake, check out volunteer opportunities, and take home some fresh merchandise! All proceeds benefit FOLQ’s efforts because we are a nonprofit, 100% volunteer organization.

From 1 to 4 p.m., all are invited to listen to live music, enjoy a variety of food and beverages, join live demos, and browse exhibitor tables.

FOLQ will share information about the Lake, including updates on construction around the lake, native and invasive plant work being done along the shores, water quality updates, and more.

NEW THIS YEAR: FOLQ will have Interactive Watershed Demonstrations. This is a fun, interactive way for kids and people of all ages to learn how watersheds work, and how water and pollutants travel from miles away to wind up in Lake Quannapowitt. Stop by the Friends of Lake Quannapowitt booth for a hands-on look at our watershed! Visitors will be environmental scientists using our 3D watershed model to see exactly how rain and daily habits impact the health of our local lake. Come learn how we can all work together to keep our water clean!

We hope to see you on the Lower Common for this community event!
