Autumn Arts and Fun Festival in Canton Today!

A summary of the upcoming fall festival at the Visual Arts Center.

I have said it before and will say it again - the Mass Audubon's located here in Canton is one of the hidden jewels in this town. Not so much hidden from sight - it is located right along Washington Street, opposite Canton High School. But hidden in that sometimes I think people do not realize all that they have to offer there. In addition to the art museum, there are also miles of nature trail, places for bird watching, a and countless offered for young and old alike.

This weekend you can explore and discover all that the Visual Arts Center has to offer with their on Saturday, October 22, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Admission is $1.00 for Mass Audubon members ages 2 and up and $3.00 for non-members.  Buy a family membership that day & admission is FREE!
