Back to School Family Picnic Announcements
As we near the Back to School Family Picnic, there are a few important updates to share. Please feel free to tell a friend to help spread the word!
Changed End Time Due to EEE Risk Level
Please note the time change for the event. It was originally advertised as 4:30pm - 7:00pm. It will now run from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. Framingham’s risk level for EEE has been raised from low to HIGH, due to a human EEE case in Grafton. The state Massachusetts Department of Public Health provided the Framingham Health Department with guidelines that include the curtailment of outdoor activities starting from dusk. As such, all outdoor activities should end no later than 7:30 pm, including event clean-up and therefore our event will end at 6:30pm.
Accessibile Parking
The Callahan Senior Center parking lot will be designated as Accessible Parking for those who need it. This lot is located right next to Bowditch Field. Drop-Off / Pick-Up can be either in the parking lot or the sidewalk directly in front of the Callahan Center. A parking pass or placard will be required to enter this parking lot.
Event parking will be available in the FSU Lot on the corner of Dudley and Franklin and at 550 Union Ave, as well as, at the Perini lots on Mt. Wayte Ave and the corner of Mt. Wayte Ave and Franklin Street.
VIP Parking as been reserved in the Perini lot on the corner of Mt. Wayte Ave. and Union Ave.
Event Shuttles
The details are currently being worked out, but there will be a shuttle to and from the event for residents on the north and south sides of Framingham. This will be an accessible bus offered at no cost to the riders. Shuttle pick-ups will begin at 4:15pm and the last shuttle leaving Bowditch Field will depart at 6:45pm. Shuttle stops will be shared as soon as they are confirmed.
