On June 13th, 2011, the Johnsonia Building at 520 Main Street, suffered a devastating 6-alarm fire that left the residents of the 42 units without a place to live and destroyed the majority of their belongings.

The Fitchburg community is banding together to put on a Music Festival on Saturday, August 6th from 11am-9pm, at Riverfront Park, overlooking the Johnsonia Building, to raise funds to help these 60 people get their lives back to normal.

100% of the money raised will go directly to the families affected. All donations, contributions & correspondences should be sent to Fitchburg Police Association, PO Box 7476, Fitchburg, MA 01420. FPA is a recognized 501-C3 Organization.

Please visit our band page for a complete list of local music at the festival. All of these incredibly generous bands are offering their talent at no charge so please come and support them, the great residents of the Johnsonia and the city of Fitchburg.
