Legacy Place Announces Return of Summer Series

From Dedham Legacy Place:

Tuesday, June 21, Legacy Place kicks off its annual Summer Series, which greatly enhances the property’s open-air shopping experience with more than two-dozen complimentary outdoor events held between June and August. Making for a beautiful new seasonal addition, Legacy Place also announces The Blossoming Heart, a six-foot tall, heart-shaped flower wall on view at the property July 10-24. Legacy Place is located at 680 Legacy Place in Dedham.

The Blossoming Heart is a six-foot tall, four-foot wide heart shaped flower wall designed by award-winning local florists Table & Tulip. It will feature approximately 400 flowers, including pink ranunculus, hydrangeas, peonies, roses and dahlias. Tuesday, July 12 from 1-3 p.m., the flower wall will be celebrated with a health and wellness block party in benefit of the Ellie Fund, a local non-profit fighting breast cancer. Lululemon Athletica will lead a mini triathlon comprised of three fun, 20-minute fitness circuits. Games, activities, raffles, sampling and entertainment will be also offered. The Blossoming Heart replaces the previously announced art installation Heart of the City.

Providing ample entertainment for adults and children of all ages, Legacy Place’s 2016 Summer Series runs from Tuesday, June 21 through Thursday, Aug. 25. The series offers events ranging from sidewalk art and storybook readings for kids to kickboxing and barre class for fitness enthusiasts to live music and samples of seasonal bites for the family. Nearly all events are complimentary; several request a nominal donation of $1-$5. Events are held throughout the property with a majority of events taking place in The Gardens.

“Legacy Place is truly an electric shopping, dining and entertainment destination. The Blossoming Heart will be our first flower wall installation, and we think it will absolutely delight shoppers while celebrating the peak of summer. Our Summer Series lets visitors slow down and take full advantage of the warm, sunny days of the season; its diversity of events and entertainment is sure to appeal to all age groups,” said Sherri D’Alessandro, the property’s marketing director.

An up-to-date calendar for the Legacy Place 2016 Summer Series is available through the Legacy Place website.
