Join the Town of Manchester’s Neighborhoods & Families Division for a free Black History Month Celebration on Friday, February 18 from 6-8 PM at the Culture Lab at Mahoney Center, 110 Cedar Street.
To many, the start of February symbolizes the start of month-long Valentine’s celebrations or the inching towards yet another Super Bowl. But to others, this February 1st carries a whole other cultural significance: Lunar New Year.
The Neighborhoods & Families Division will host their indoor Love Your Local: Spruce Street Farmers Market on Saturday, February 12 from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM at the Nathan Hale Activity Center, 160 Spruce Street.
