THE SUMMER OF FUN 2026 DATES! 🏊‍♂️

Get ready to make a splash, Marlborough! We’re sharing the 2026 schedule for our community’s favorite aquatic facilities, and we couldn’t be more excited.

Keeping these assets—the boat launch, the beach, the splash pads, and the wading pools—top-notch and accessible is a direct result of our collective effort. We want to extend a massive thank you to the entire community for your support and partnership over the years. It's because of you that we can invest in, manage, and proud of these great assets.

The dedication of the Recreation Department is a point of pride, and we are honored to serve this city. Let’s make 2026 a summer filled with laughter, sunshine, and incredible community fun!

Mother Artists know what it's like to chase a creative idea while chasing toddlers. Art doesn't wait for a quiet moment. It's about showing up, making something honest, and finding beauty between the messes.

Full of color, feeling, and a little chaos, this show features work by local artists alongside their children's work, exploring the blurred line between motherhood and artistic identity. Join the artists as they celebrate this special art show.
