"The Town and The City Festival ‘s first 2 years were met with great enthusiasm from music fans, performers, the venues and the community” " said festival producer, Chris Porter, a Lowell native. "After the pandemic forced a hiatus for a couple of years, 2022’s event was a resounding demonstration that this Festival stands alongside the other signature music events in the area like the Lowell Folk Festival and the Lowell Summer Music Series. It’s a wonderful way to showcase what downtown Lowell has to offer and feature many performers from the area and beyond."
The Town and The City Festival is produced with support from Greater Merrimack Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism, and the Lowell Cultural Council.
