Community Events

The Parks & Rec Department is the host of several Town of Norton Annual Events.  It is our pleasure to bring these events to the town each and every year.

 

Spring Egg Hunt 

The Spring Egg Hunt traditionally is scheduled for the Saturday of the weekend before the Easter Holiday.  The rain date is typically the Saturday right before the holiday.  Over 3500 eggs are filled with candy and goodies for kids aged 2-8!

Festival of Lights

The Festival of Lights is traditionally first Sunday in December on the Town Common to kick off the holiday season.  The Memorial Tree is lit.  The Menorah is ready to be light for it's 8 special nights and of course, a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus is always a memorable time!

Founder's Day

The Parks & Rec Department also works extremely closely with the Founder's Day Committee to bring that event to the town.  While that event has been on pause since COVID, there has been a new committee formed recently by the Select Board to bring that event back to town.  Currently the committee is looking at June 2025 so we can have fireworks too.  If you are interested in helping with this event, please contact the Founder's Day Committee at FoundersDay@nortonmaus.com.
