About Miracle League of Massachusetts
There is something about playing the game of baseball that lights up a player’s eyes, but for anyone facing mental and physical challenges, that opportunity can be difficult. Miracle League gives athletes of all abilities the opportunity to enjoy the game of baseball as part of a team in an organized league—at no cost to their family.
Miracle League of Massachusetts runs Spring and Fall baseball seasons every year, with Saturday games for children 5-21, and Sunday games for adults. Families from more than 30 towns in Massachusetts come to the newly resurfaced Miracle Field at Nara Park in Acton to experience being part of a team, support one another and enjoy time with their Miracle League friends and buddies.
The Miracle League of Massachusetts offers more than baseball to this tight community. Year-round activities include a summer family picnic, sing-alongs, bingo nights, dance parties, and travel tournament opportunities.
We rely on donations from individuals and sponsors to offer these activities, provide uniforms and equipment, and maintain Miracle Field. We greatly appreciate our 2025 sponsors Mark Fidrych Foundation, Crumbl Cookie of Milbury & Hudson, Omar’s World of Comics, Concord Heating & Air Conditioning, Acton Lions Club, Concord Recreation and Scheier Katin & Epstein, PC.

Opening Reception for Ancient Light and Inspirational Jam
2026-01-28 18:00 - 20:00 | The Umbrella Arts Center, 40 Stow St., Concord, MA, 01742, United States
Join us for the opening reception of The Umbrella’s Winter exhibitions, Ancient Light and Inspirational Jam featuring the works of Marsha Wilcox and Carl Ristaino. RSVP appreciated.
About the exhibitions:
Ancient Light: Celestial Photography by Marsha Wilcox | The Allie Kussin Gallery | January 12 – March 22, 2026
Celestial photographer Marsha Wilcox has been passionate about outer space since her childhood when her father taught her about celestial navigation. Like so many before her, Marsha has wondered about the cosmos: its beauty, mystery, and immensity.
Ancient Light invites you to look up and explore the worlds beyond our own. Through long-exposure photography, Marsha is able to capture the night sky high above Concord. What will these celestial bodies tell us about ourselves? How can we reconnect with our past, present, and future by connecting with the cosmos?
Inspirational Jam: Paintings by Carl Ristaino | The Wedge Gallery | January 26 – March 29, 2026
Working in acrylics, Carl Ristaino’s imagination comes alive through dynamic jazz scenes and whimsical cityscapes. He builds layers of bold color that capture the transcendence of live music and fantastical worlds. In his jazz series, Ristaino’s canvases become stages where musicians lean into their instruments, vocalists throw their heads back in ecstatic song, and the audience communes over the pleasure of spontaneous creativity. His paintings don’t just document performance; they are improvisations themselves.
Ristaino’s Ancient Cities take us to unknown, and yet familiar, places. He combines castles and pirate ships with UFO’s and ancient pyramids to build a world of pure creativity. Each Ancient City invites the viewer to imagine a new story and to look closely at the canvas, and within themselves, to discover new corners of imagination.
Admission is free and the galleries are open to all. Explore additional programming and learn more at TheUmbrellaArts.org/current-exhibition

The acclaimed Tanglewood Marionettes are coming to the Carlisle School Auditorium!
Join us for a magical family-friendly performance while supporting the Campership Fund of the Concord Carlisle Foundation, which helps families in Concord and Carlisle who would otherwise be unable to afford summer camp experiences for their children.
Set in the 18th century and featuring a dozen lavishly costumed 30-inch marionettes, Cinderella is a Tanglewood Marionettes showpiece.

All your favorite characters are here, from Cinderella to the Stepsisters and the charming Prince, each brought to life with precision and grace by Tanglewood’s master puppeteers.
The production is approximately 45 minutes in length and includes a Puppetry Demonstration prior to the show and a Question & Answer Session following the performance, offering guests a behind-the-scenes look at the artistry of marionette puppetry.

For the Public Benefit: The Ellicott Astronomical Regulator
2026-02-04 19:00 - 20:00 | The Concord Museum, Concord, MA, 01742, United States
Join physicist Alan Lightman, horologist Richard Ketchen, second-generation clock dealer John Delaney, and Concord Museum Curator David Wood for a unique evening exploring one of the most precise scientific instruments to ever find its way to America in the 18th century – the Ellicott Astronomical Regulator.
Purchased by Harvard College in 1765 with help from Benjamin Franklin’s London connections, this remarkable timekeeper was one of the most advanced scientific instruments in the world. Though it resembles a domestic clock, its purpose was far grander: to measure tiny increments of time for astronomical observations, including the transit of Venus in 1769. Featuring a temperature-compensating pendulum and other precision features, the regulator contributed to a remarkable global effort that deepened humankind’s understanding of the universe.
Concord minister William Emerson was permitted to place the famous regulator, known as the “College Clock,” in Concord’s meeting house “for the public benefit,” where it could inspire awe at the rare planetary events it documented and pride in the advancement of experimental science during the period of the Revolution. Now, for the first time since 1775, it has returned to Concord.
Come discover the wonder of this historic masterpiece and the stories it tells about science, time, and the pursuit of knowledge.
Arrive early to view the astronomical regulator in the special exhibition Transformed by Revolution.
