The 2024 edition of Watertown’s Faire on the Square was a wet one, but those who braved the elements enjoyed plenty of activities, food, music, and booths featuring local businesses and organizations.
Among the visitors to Saltonstall Park was Congresswoman Katherine Clark, who toured the Faire with Watertown elected officials and was interviewed by Watertown Cable Access Television.
The entertainment stage featured Steve Tashjian Ensemble, School of Rock, Chris Cote and his band of These Guys, and demonstrations by Watertown Police Officer Andrew Civetti and K-9 Zane.
While the mechanical rides — including the ferris wheel — were washed out, kids could still enjoy a pony ride.
Once again the Faire featured the apple pie baking contest and a chili cook off.
The proceeds from the beer garden, featuring Bar ‘Cino and Mighty Squirrel Brewing, went to the Watertown Boys & Girls Club.
It was a great day! Suggestion: I just wish that we can plan to have a scheduled RAIN DATE for our future Faires!? Everyone works so hard to make it a special day for our city and we want it to be a SUNNY September day so that everyone can see all the sites and explore all day. It was rainy 2 years in a row! I know that logistically, rain dates are tough, but so many more people would attend if we had a rain date!!
