Help build your community! Join us for a FREE, all day festival celebrating Peabody.

The festival Kicks off at 10am with an 11-mile, foliage bike ride along the Peabody Independence Greenway Bike Path. This is a fun ride, not a race.

All bikers are asked to pre-register online: peabodyma.myrec.com/info/activities/program_details.aspx?ProgramID=29930

Over at Crystal Lake, we'll be featuring demos for fly fishing, SUP, kayaking, and Curious Creatures. Full schedule below.
