5th Annual NolanFest
June 28 @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
In the summer of 2020, our community lost a gifted young musical artist, Nolan Gibbons. To celebrate his love of music, theater, and the arts, The Nolan Gibbons Memorial Fund (NGMF) is hosting the 5th Annual NolanFest on June 28 at Silvershell Beach in Marion from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
Come enjoy live performances from across the country, delicious food from local food trucks, unique vendor booths, and more. This year, we’re thrilled to welcome back to the main stage a cappella group, Hyannis Sound. Also joining us this year are saxophonist Marcus Monteiro, The Showstoppers, New Bedford Festival Theatre, Break a Leg Theatre, several of our scholarship recipients, and more.
The event’s popular raffle is making a much-anticipated return along with the ukulele tent, and an expanded lineup of vendor tables. NolanFest is a free community event and serves as a fundraiser for The NGMF. Attendees are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets, and consider making a donation to support the fund’s mission.
“Since our founding in 2022, NGMF has awarded over $50,000 in grants and scholarships to young and emerging artists. We are so grateful to all of our donors and sponsors who make that possible and help to keep NolanFest a free event. This is how we keep Nolan with us and honor his memory by celebrating and supporting.
