MARLBOROUGH – For the second time in September, Main Street turned into a venue for food, music and fun.
The fifth annual Food Truck and Arts Festival, sponsored by the Marlborough Economic Development Corp., took place on a sunny and breezy Sunday, Sept. 8.
Nearly two dozen food trucks took over the Weed Street parking lot, offering a range of items from lemonade and barbecue to Mexican and Italian street food.
Along Main Street local arts groups provided chalk art, games and more for families; vendors offered knitted goods, glass art and more for purchase.
At the other end of City Hall, the city’s Fire, Police and Department of Public Works staged a touch-a-vehicle event. Police K-9 Officer Kenneth McKenzie and Meiko were also on hand to answer questions.
At the South Bolton side of Main Street, several bands performed, including The True Vibe Band, The Allens and Color Killer.
The Marlborough Public Library provided information about fall programs, while Marlborough Public Schools had information about job openings.
The Historical Society had its 2025 calendar for sale, along with commemorative keychains of Samuel Boyd; proceeds from keychain sales will help the society pay for a statue of Boyd, a businessman and philanthropist considered as the “father of Marlborough.”
