After an unprecedented cancellation in 2020, due to the pandemic, the 30th annual Celebrate Holliston festivities will continue this year on September 18th, in a new location. This year, Celebrate Holliston is excited to be “Celebrating on Central” Street. The downtown, street-party style event will stretch down Central Street (closed from Washington Street to Blair Square) to bring the community together in a family-friendly, spaced-out, outdoor space – with the additional benefit of offering walking and biking access directly from the Rail Trail.
