It's almost time! The Charles River Sinfonietta is returning to Millis! Come down this Friday, May 26th at 6:30pm for the final performance of the series from Jacob Litoff and the talented members of the Charles River Sinfonietta. They'll be performing trios for 2 clarinets and viola by Franz Krommer and by Conrad Kreutzer; Prelude, Allegro, and Pastorale for viola and clarinet by Rebecca Clarke, and Variations for Clarinet and Cello by Lucas Richmond.

This program is brought to you by a grant from the Millis Cultural Council. No registration necessary. Light Refreshments will be Provided.

April showers bring May flowers and it's time to pot them up! Before we do that we would like to invite you to paint and customize your own flower pots with us! Have your middle schoolers join us for Paint your Own Flower Pots on June 22nd at 6:30pm. Paints and pots will be provided.

This event is recommended for grades 6th-8th. Register here to get your teen a spot and pot!

We're starting a knitting club! Join us every Wednesday starting Wednesday, June 7th at 6:30pm for Knit Together as we gather to spend time together, learn, and practice this excellent art. Whether you're an experienced knitter, crochetier, or have always wanted to learn either, there's a space for you! Experienced yarnies will find like-minded people, and newbies can be assured that they'll have help learning the basics, as well as everything that follows.

Feel free to bring your own projects to work on in our lovely temperature controlled setting, and if you want to try it, we'll have some supplies on hand! If you're very sure you want to become a wizard with needles and/or hooks (but aren't sure what you're doing), come equipped with a size 7 set of needles, and our guide will show you what to do!

It's back! We'd like to invite you to join us for a hour of quiet relaxation before your busy weekend with Color and Chill: an Adult Coloring program! Coloring has been proven to help reduce stress, so take a break from your busy life and distract yourself with a variety of intricate pages waiting for you with soothing music and snacks. Our next coloring night will be on Friday, June 9th at 6:30pm.

Everything you'll need will be provided-- just bring yourself! No registration required.

Millis Youth! We're painting Pride Rocks once again! Drop in on Saturday, June 10th at 1pm and decorate kindness rocks in honor of LGBTQ+ Pride Month with us. No registration required!
