What is the Spring Fling?

The Spring Fling is an event designed to inspire locals to enjoy a fun day in West Acton Village following the Acton-Boxborogh United Way’s annual 5K Walk/Run for Mental Health. The race brings people to the Village! With family-friendly activities and special offers at the surrounding businesses, it’s a fun way to keep people in the area and shopping small!

Non-retail / service-based businesses often participate by offering small events or activities to draw people to their business. Community involvement will increases their presence in town and their name recognition.
