Second Annual Heart of Springs “Springfest 2025”

Heart of Springs (https://heartofsprings.com/), will host the Second Annual SpringsFest on Saturday, October 4^th from 4 to 7 p.m. with a rain date of October 5^th from 2 to 5 p.m. The community music festival will be held on the grounds of the Parsons Blacksmith Shop at Parson Place in the Heart of Springs.

Springsfest 2025 will feature a free concert by local band REEB “Real East End Brass,” an ensemble of local music educators as well and two Springs School alumni rooted in the sounds of New Orleans.  During intermission, guests can enjoy sea shanties from David Cataletto as well as an entertaining history lesson from “town crier” Hugh King. Food trucks will be on site for the evening serving dinners, light snacks, soft drinks and desserts while Springs Brewery will offer beer for purchase.

The event will be filled with a fall fair atmosphere for families, old and new, who are welcome to bring blankets and chairs to sit and enjoy the music, food, crafts from local businesses at tables, yard games as well as a blacksmith demonstration sharing the importance of blacksmiths in our community nearly 150 years ago.

The event is free; however, donations are strongly encouraged and welcome. Any proceeds from individual and sponsorship donations will cover costs for the event but ultimately go towards Heart of Springs’ goal to raise funds to help with maintaining and restoring the historical buildings that comprise and give character to the Springs Triangle. These buildings include the Blacksmith Shop, the Springs Library, Ashawagh Hall and the Springs Community Presbyterian Church.
