Welcome to the Natick Center Cultural District - the arts and culture hub of MetroWest!

The Town of Natick, MA​ received the designation of "Cultural District" in 2012 from the Massachusettes Cultural Council, thus the Natick Center Cultural District​ was born. We were part of the 14 original districts in the Commonwealth. This summer our five year designation was up for renewal. A few months ago we submitted our application for re-designation and we recently received notice from the Mass Cultural Council​ that Natick received the "Cultural District" designation for another 5 years!  Having a strong arts and cultural presence in town creates an dynamic environment, adds to the livability of a community and it's free, and open to all residents to experience. We're featured in the Boston Globe article about cultural districts at: http://ow.ly/aEUU30fyKNu.

We plan to continue on in this mission over the next 5 years and if you'd like to join us we offer a yearly membership of only $25 per person or $50 per family. We appreciate your support as we continue to make arts and culture an ever-increasing part of our town. Please visit our membership page for more details!

For over 20 years each week you'll find the best local fruits and vegetables, homemade breads, cheeses, crafts along with entertainment at the Natick Farmers Market every Saturday from 9 AM - 1 PM outside on Natick Common! Please visit our Farmers Market page for a list of vendors and see the Facebook page at Natick Farmers Market for weekly changes and special events.
