Town River Landing: A Community Hub in the Making
Town River Landing is more than just a park—it’s a space where the community can come together to celebrate, connect, and honor the heroes who serve us every day. From hosting large-scale events like First Responders Day to smaller gatherings such as the Bridgewater Farmers Market, Town River Landing is becoming a cornerstone of community life. However, to fully realize its potential, the park requires ongoing improvements, maintenance, and resources.
Sponsorships and donations play a critical role in funding these efforts. Contributions help ensure that Town River Landing remains a vibrant, welcoming space for all, while also supporting the events and programs that bring the community together.
A Year of Community and Celebration
The 2025 season kicks off with First Responders Day on April 26th at Town River Landing Park. This recognized holiday is dedicated to showing appreciation for veterans and first responders and is expected to draw over 2,000 attendees. The event will be a day filled with gratitude, community, and celebration of those who protect and serve.
In addition to First Responders Day, FFEF has planned a series of highly anticipated events throughout the year, each drawing crowds of 1,500+ attendees. These include:
Battle of the Bands (May 17th): A competition showcasing local musical talent.
Summer Fest (June 21st): A high-energy music festival featuring incredible talent.
Bridgewater Throwdown (September 7th): A fitness competition attracting participants from across southern Massachusetts.
Country Fest (September 20th): A celebration of country music and community spirit.
Brew Fest (October 12th): A gathering of craft breweries, live entertainment, and great company.

Each event is designed to foster community spirit while raising awareness and funds for programs that directly benefit veterans and first responders.
