Love to eat Marshmallow Fluff but hate the guilty feeling it leaves you
with? Come absolve that guilt (and have your Fluffernutter, too!) by
volunteering at the third annual "What the Fluff?" Festival in Union Square,
Somerville on Saturday, September 27 (raindate 9/28). The Festival
celebrates the invention of Marshmallow Fluff in 1917 in Union Square and
serves to unite the diverse Somerville community around a common love of
Marshmallowy madness.
We're expecting around 6,000 Fluff-hungry attendees to descend upon Union
Square this year, so we need lots of help! This free celebration of kitsch
and community includes live music, games for kids and adults, a cooking
contest, craft and food vendors and, of course, lots of Marshmallow Fluff!
The festival is presented by Union Square Main Streets and sponsored by the
Somerville Arts Council's ArtsUnion.
