The 2021 Autumnfest Steering Committee proudly invites the community to the 43rd Autumnfest Kick-Off Event to commence the start of our celebration including honoring this year's Grand Marshal, Jennifer Jolicouer.

Jolicouer was selected to be our 2020 Grand Marshal but due to the cancellation of Autumnfest last year, the committee made the decision to celebrate her contributions to our community in 2021. Jolicouer is the President/She-E-O of Athena's Home Novelties which just recently purchased a new headquarters in Highland Park in Woonsocket. She led a successful attempt called the "Athena's Cup" to bring a Guinness World Record to the city with the largest bra chain and in so doing brought awareness to breast cancer. Jolicouer has been active in the community for many years with her support to organizations such as Sojourner House, CCF, March of Dimes, Woonsocket Adopt-a-Family, Hearts with Hope, Gloria Gemma, Relay for Life, Milk Fund, and many more.
