The entire family will enjoy September's Fall Fest and Medfield Night Fireworks, The festival brings food, games, music, and a chance for the community to come together.
Dining & Shopping in Medfield
Medfield is large enough to enjoy the familiarity and convenience of several restaurant chains as well as those places that bring local dining character. There are the requisite pizza places, Village Pizza and Royal Pizza, and grilles, Noon High Grill and Tock of the Town Cafe and Grille. But, you'll also find American cuisine at Basil and Zebra's Bistro & Wine Bar, and some international flavor at Takara Japanese restaurant, Thai World, and Grand Mandarin.
As with restaurants, Medfield enjoys the convenience of large chains Shaws-Osco, CVS, and Marshalls. But, it is, undoubtedly, the local shopping that keeps things interesting. Lords Department Store, locally owned for 60 years, remains an old-fashioned 50's-esque department store, complete with lunch counter. Breakfast before school is still a special treat for the kids. The local guys say the Medfield Barber Shop is the place to be shorn. Substantial dining and shopping opportunities are easily available at the Wrentham Village outlets and the shopping complexes along Route 9.
Medfield Community, Culture, Recreation
Substantial recent investment in town property will undoubtedly change the look of town over the next years. What won’t change is the public library's entreaty to "enter, engage, enjoy" and summer days spent at Hinkley Pond.
The Trustees of Reservations conserve sites in town: Rocky Woods so that residents can enjoy 6.5 miles of trails to the view from Cedar Hill, five ponds, and a quarry site; Noon Hill in the heart of historic Medfield where you can enjoy hiking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and mountain biking; and the Shattuck Reservation, a Charles River paddler's favorite.
