The North Attleborough Cultural Council has announced the lineup for its 2026 Summer Concert Series, giving residents a slate of live music to look forward to in the weeks ahead. Full details on performers and dates are posted at nattleboro.com.
Registration is now open for the "Twice is Nice" 2.5- and 5-mile road race, set for July 12 as part of the town's "Celebrating Liberty's Legacy: 250 Years of Independence" commemoration. The race joins a broader official calendar of events marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, which the town has also published online.
Emergency Management Director Christopher Coleman and other town officials are urging residents to review hurricane preparedness tips ahead of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. The guidance covers steps households can take now to be ready for severe weather.
Two public health notices are also circulating: the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has issued an advisory regarding a nationwide recall of all lots of Nara Organics powdered infant formula, and Target has recalled its Up & Up Fragrance Free and Up & Up Fresh Cucumber Scented Baby Wipes due to potential microbial contamination. Residents with questions should contact their healthcare provider or retailer.
Separately, the U.S. Small Business Administration has opened Business Recovery Centers across Southeastern Massachusetts to assist businesses and private nonprofit organizations still recovering from the February blizzard. The centers have been operating since June 18.
