LCC Program Information - About Your LCC

The Royalston Cultural Council supports a wide variety of programs in the arts, theater, music, and natural history every year. On first Fridays from November to April, we sponsor the Royalston Open Mic, which won the Massachusetts Gold Star Award in 2008. We also sponsor the annual Royalston Music Fest each July, which brings talented performers from around the region to Bullock Park for a rousing afternoon of family fun.

We also collaborate with the Village School, Royalston Community School, the town of Royalston, and Phinehas S. Newton Library and other organizations to produce programs for students and their families.
