Herring Run Festival
Celebrate Spring at Middleborough’s Oliver Mill Park for the Herring Run Festival
Massachusetts’ Herring Run in is one of the most spectacular natural resources in New England.

The first annual Herring Festival features live animals, music, a variety of conservation activities and demonstrations. More information and a complete schedule of events can be found on Facebook (facebook.com/herringfriends) or Twitter (twitter.com/herringfriends). There is a Native American belief that herring “sing.” In April 2014, visit Oliver Mill Park in Middleborough and listen carefully: You might just hear them as they run up the Nemasket River.
