Lawrence community members showed up in droves Friday afternoon and evening for the second annual Midsummer Night on Mass.
The event replaced the long-standing sidewalk sale for the first time in 2023.

Squishington’s, a candy store that opened in November at 646 Massachusetts St, promoted its discounted prices and deals for its first Midsummer Night on Mass event Friday.
