FRIENDS OF ROBBINS FARM PARK EVENTS

  • Spring Cleanup & Kite Day—Saturday, April 29th, 9am
    Bring your trowels, rakes, leaf rakes, shovels and pruning shears and meet your neighbors at the Park! And while we’re there, we’ll celebrate the crocus, daffodils and tulips planted at Robbins Farm Park last fall! At 1pm, bring you kites as well and hope for good wind at one of the area’s best kite-flying locations. If you come early and help in the cleanup, you’ll get a free kite.
  • NO INDEPENDENCE DAY EVENT AT ROBBINS FARM PARK THIS YEAR
    Cancelled due to Park construction. Please see Robbins Farm Park Improvement Project Notice on the home page.
  • Harvard Alumni Jazz Band Concert—Thursday, July 20th, 6pm
    —NOTE: ALTERNATE LOCATION FOR JAZZ CONCERT THIS YEAR—
    At the top of Eastern Ave, just up the hill from Robbins Farm Park
    Join us on for a free jazz concert by the Alumni Jazz Band, a 17-piece jazz big band with members from Arlington and surrounding communities. Enjoy the music of Count Basie, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, and many others! This ninth annual concert is FREE thanks to the generosity of the band, which includes neighborhood resident Allen Feinstein. This is a great event for all ages. We encourage people to bring your own picnic dinner.

OTHER EVENTS AT ROBBINS FARM PARK

  • Astronomy Nights 2017 with Jeff Alexander
    This summer there will be a series of Astronomy Nights at Robbins Farm Park. Each night we’ll have at least one telescope out to view objects in the night sky. This summer, the star of the show is a solar eclipse on August 21st, but the night sky will still have a lot to offer. There’ll be plenty to see — the sky is the limit! Click here for details.
