Culture in Cummington
Announcing The Year of the River 2025
The Westfield River is the Cummington Cultural District’s backyard, flowing behind the buildings and houses that line Main Street, our celebrated rural arts destination. In 2025, the CCD will bring our backyard front-and-center, making the Westfield River that runs through the heart of town the focus and site of our programmatic work, making 2025 the Year of the River.
The 2025 Year of the River programs will include:
- deTours: Exploring the Westfield River in Cummington, a series of site-specific walking tours led by Hilltown artists, humanists, and naturalists in the spring
- REFLECTIONS: Westfield River Art Activations, a public art and community cultural event granting program and public art exhibition opportunity that opens for applications in the spring for projects that unfold at the River throughout the year
- RiverFest: a family-friendly, participatory celebration of the wild and scenic Westfield River that runs through the heart of Cummington in the fall
