This can include sustainable living, preserving the natural world, climate action, or your own experience in Brookline's outdoor spaces. All art mediums are welcome. Please bring your original artwork to Spring Fest for drop-off. Artwork will be displayed at Spring Fest and after they will be fabricated into posters to be displayed in Brookline Parks throughout the summer. Bring your posters to Spring Fest 2025 on Saturday, May 31, 2025 at Olmsted Park Allerton Overlook from 11am – 2pm. For more information go to www.brooklinema.gov/springfest.
