Back to School Palooza & Color Run - Sunday, August 25,  Holliston High School

Join the celebration from 10a-2p as we welcome our students, families, teachers, staff, and administrators back to school!  We've got so much to celebrate including Holliston's 300th so come on down for Food Trucks, Live Music featuring Holliston High Schools own - The Detentions, touch-a-trucks, games, face painting, and more! There will be tables from community partners to learn about the resources available to families throughout the year.

All ages are encouraged and welcome! Sponsored in partnership with Holliston PTO and Holliston High School Class of 2025 and Holliston High School Class of 2026.

JUST ADDED:  The day will kick off with our COLOR RUN for our incoming PK-Grade 5 students with registration beginning at 9:00a at the front entrance to Holliston High School. 

What is THE COLOR RUN? Well… it’s more of a color party! It is a ½ mile path where you “run” or hop, skip, jump, crawl or belly laugh from color station to color station. Just the right size for our littlest runner to complete and our oldest runners to take a few laps. That being said, registered runners can loop as many times as they want and have excess color powder blown off at the end.

Participants who pre-register before August 1st will receive a t-shirt and a Kona Ice Icy.

Day of registrants will receive a Kona Ice Icy.
