HOLYOKE — The fifth Annual Paper City Food Festival will return to downtown Holyoke Oct. 11–12, bringing two days of food, music, and community spirit — and this year, a special mission to support a local child fighting cancer.
According to a press release from Nueva Esperanza, the festival will honor Grace “Gracie” Gianna Falcon, a 4-year-old Holyoke resident diagnosed in April with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Proceeds from a community walk and other activities will help Gracie’s family cover medical expenses and daily needs.
