For more then 36 years, communities across the world have come together to honor and remember loved ones and take action for lifesaving change. We strive to make this event as safe as possible and will follow local COVID related guidelines.

Jeanines / Luxor Rentals / OOF
10 Fiske Ave 10 Fiske Avenue, Greenfield, MA, United StatesCome out for a night of indiepop, indie rock/psychedelia, and post-punk! Jeanines specialize in ultra-short bursts of energetic but melancholy minor-key pop. With influences that run deep into the most crucial tributaries of DIY pop, they've crafted a style that is as individual as it is just plain pleasurable. Alicia Jeanine's pure, unaffected voice muses wistfully on the illusions of time, while My Teenage Stride/Mick Trouble mastermind Jed Smith's frantic Motown-esque drumming and inventive bass playing provide a thrilling rhythmic foundation. Luxor Rentals make loose, jangling psychedelia formed around each member's own ideas about what rock music actually rocks (Poco/early Verve/Curt Boettcher/The Church/VU are frequently discussed). Their bunker is in Orange, MA, but they can be found playing sporadically around the Pioneer Valley. OOF is a post-punk trio of baritone sax/guitar/drums featuring former members of Rathaus, Pelvi$$, The Duke of Uke & His Novelty Orchestra, and Famous Logs in History. Their most recent tape, ""What's Bad is Good,"" is out now from Fuzzy Warbles Cassettes. They live in Brooklyn and Amsterdam, NY.

GPL Presents: The Trial of Lizzie Borden — Whacks and Hacks
Greenfield Public Library 412 Main St, Greenfield, MA, United StatesJoin the Greenfield Public Library, in collaboration with the Tewksbury Public Library, for The Trial of Lizzie Borden -- Whacks and Hacks, on Saturday, June 10, at 12 pm. When Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally hacked to death in Fall River, Massachusetts in August 1892, the arrest of the couple’s younger daughter Lizzie turned the case into international news and her murder trial into a spectacle unparalleled in American history. Everyone -- rich and poor, suffragists and social conservatives, legal scholars, and laypeople -- had an opinion about Lizzie Borden’s guilt or innocence. An essential piece of American mythology, the popular fascination with the Borden murders has endured for more than one hundred years. Told and retold in every conceivable genre, the murders have secured a place in the American pantheon of mythic horror. Led by the Honorable Dennis J. Curran, retired Massachusetts Superior Court Justice.
