Flo Fest

09/02/2026

I am without words✨we’ve had an outpouring of support from the community throughout this first year of Flo Fest💜 It began as a dream, back in summer of 2025, to revive a beloved street-fest for our sweet village of Florence. Our sponsors have not only contributed to the funds and resources needed to close down Main Street and host a music, art, and culture fest; but to support local artists banking this event possible.

Thank you, folks, for believing in our mission.
Sincerely,
Chloe Torri
Flo Fest Founder & Lead Organizer

Thank you to Andrew Munson and the crew at MBS Advisors, located right here in Florence✨

MBS Advisors

MBS was founded in 1998 by Terry J. Minnick, a well-known plastics industry professional and the former owner of a $20 million custom injection molding company in Florence, Massachusetts. Mr. Minnick has remained in the area, and their main office is still located at the heart of Florence.

MBS Advisors is dedicated to the manufacturing industry. Their main focus historically has been on injection molding and other plastics processing, but have also worked with precision machining companies, tool and die makers, and metal stampers. Their current focus is on manufacturers of engineered components. They provide our clients with M&A advisory, investment banking, and other consulting services.
