Pumpkin Festival at Tilly's Bacon Street Farm, Sunday, October 20 2-5 p.m.

Fall is here and the Pumpkin Festival at Tilly's Bacon Street Farm is right around the corner. Check out local small businesses and artisans, with something for every age — including face painting, music, local food demos, bounce houses, crafts, and more. Proceeds from pumpkin sales go to the Natick Public Schools, and you can direct them to the school of your choice — so be sure to choose Lilja!

Share Your Memories for the Lilja Yearbook!

Help us capture the special moments of the school year by sharing photos for the Lilja Yearbook! You can share photos from the first day of school, Lilja Carnival or any other memorable Lilja events so far this year. Please submit your photos to liljayearbook@gmail.com, and remember to only send pictures of your own children. If friends are included in the photos, kindly provide their parents’ email addresses and ask them to confirm they’re comfortable with their child’s inclusion in the yearbook.

Calling All Local Artists – Join the Lilja Community Art Project!
