Let's try this again! Attleboro's Harmony Fiesta, originally planned for September, was postponed to this coming weekend, October 17 from 12-6pm in Capron Park. The weather might be a little bit colder than it would have been last month, but that won't stop us from enjoying the music, tasting the delicious food, buying from the vendors, and enjoying an afternoon with some of the friendliest people in Attleboro. We hope to see you there!
