About Carver Old Home Day
History of Carver Old Home Day
Carver Old Home Day has been a tradition since 1901 providing a day for the community to come together and celebrate the history of our town. The mission of the Carver Old Home Day Association is to continue to provide a relaxing day for families to come out and meet their neighbors and enjoy their families. The Carver Old Home Day Association, Inc. is a non-profit that looks to the town for sponsorship to be able to continue to provide a day full of activities and fun at minimal cost to allow fun for the whole family. We are also proud to share that beginning in 2013 we were able to award our first scholarship to a Carver High School graduate. Thank you to our community and local businesses!
Attractions
Our day is filled with music from the ages in the morning with a full Brass band playing Bandstand Boogies to Stars and Stripes forever! We follow this with some more modern local talent and familiar sounds you may want to dance to!
Location
You will find us under the pines at Shurtleff Park in Carver, Massachusetts.
