Ludlow Millfest to Be Held Sept. 8

LUDLOW — The East of the River Five Town Chamber of Commerce will hold its fifth annual Millfest on Thursday, Sept. 8 at Europa Black Rock Bar and Grill, 782 Center St., Ludlow. The festivities run from 5 to 7 p.m.

Millfest is a celebration of Ludlow, bringing together local citizens and the business community in a festival setting. This year’s Millfest offers a clambake dinner and a live music performance by Eric Gulbrandsen. Millfest will be held at Europa this year because of construction currently taking place at Ludlow Mills, the event’s usual location.

Millfest 2016 will honor members of the East of the River Chamber’s law-enforcement community. Officers from Ludlow, East Longmeadow, Longmeadow, Wilbraham, and Hampden will be on hand for the event, and Ludlow Police Chief Pablo Madera will speak.

This year’s presenting sponsor is Chicopee Savings Bank. Other businesses helping to sponsor this event include Go Graphix, the Republican/MassLive, Robert Charles Photography, the Gaudreau Group, BusinessWest, Winn Companies, Charter Spectrum, and HealthSouth.

Tickets for Millfest are $25 per person and can be purchased at Eventbrite. For more information on sponsoring Millfest or attending the event, call Carmina Fernandes at (413) 583-2060.
