“Under the circumstances of the pandemic, we are not able to bring the festival back to downtown Lowell this year. However we still want to provide a way to showcase some great artists and draw attention to our annual event as well as the Lowell community,” Chris Porter, President and CEO of Porter Productions. “This is going to be a great night of music with an all star lineup from across New England and beyond. We look forward to returning in person in 2021.”
Debuting in 2018, The Town and The City Festival is produced by Porter Productions in association with the Greater Merrimack Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau. Named after the novel “The Town and the City”, the first major work published by Jack Kerouac, the festival typically spans two-days and takes place in event spaces, bars, cafes, and galleries throughout downtown Lowell.
