Brewster Rec

Brewster In Bloom KidFest at The Laurel School

This Saturday from 9am till 3pm on Route 6-A

 This year's Brewster in Bloom Parade starts at 1pm when Brewster History comes to life all along Route 6-A. Above is a scene from last year's parade.

This Saturday, May 3 from 9AM - 3PM THE BREWSTER IN BLOOM KIDFEST is the place to be!  There will be arts and crafts projects, Bloom-O-Lympics races and contests for the kids, storytelling and lots more!  The Greenbrier Nature Center will bring a live animal exhibit for storytime! 

The Laurel School's annual Bake Sale and Book Sale will be going on as well.  A pair of Red Sox tickets will be raffled and all proceeds will benefit The Elder Brewster Scholarship Fund! We truly have something for everyone!

Due to parking constraints at The Laurel School, all participants must park at Ocean Edge's golf clubhouse parking lot (NOT the mansion) which is accessible from both Rte 6A and Rte 137.  Ocean Edge is generously providing shuttle service throughout the KidFest so no one will be left out!

If you have questions, please call Brewster Recreation Dept. at 508 896 9430 or The Laurel School at 508 896 4934.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Brewster revs up for a summer of fun and games

The weekly band concerts are in the Drummer Boy Park on Route 6-A Sundays at 6pm in July & August

We here at the Brewster Recreation Department have been very busy preparing for the summer season!  We have loads of fun planned for residents and visitors alike!  You will see a lot of familiar faces with invigorated enthusiasm for the programs that have made Brewster Rec a great place to spend the summer.  Danielle Arsenault is back as the swim director and she will be joined by Robert Alfonso, head lifeguard at Long Pond Beach.  Ted Guazzaloca is again head of the Playground program and he has many new ideas and activities that will keep the kids engaged all summer long!  Brianna Wall is heading up the sailing program and Jessica Majewski will be directing tennis.  Some of the new activities we are offering include archery, baseball, softball, basketball, soccer, babysitter safety courses, fishing, kayaking, surfing and skimboarding, yoga and more!

A mid-summer "Celebrate Brewster" weekend is being planned for the weekend of July 18 & 19 at Drummer Boy Park that includes a Movie Night on Friday and Safety Day on Saturday.

SUMMER KICK-OFF!  To kick it all off, we are planning an afternoon of fun at Drummer Boy Park on Thursday, June 12 from 4:00PM - 8:00PM.    Planned activities include a rock climbing wall with bungee challenge, a moon bounce and dunk tank and lots of fun for all!  El Guapo's Taquiera and The Local Flavor will offer their tasty fares for sale and there will be cotton candy and more!  We hope to see you there!
