Things To Do around Westwood this Weekend: Friday, Dec 9 - Sunday, Dec 11, 2022 (Updated)
Darlene Cancell
Editor
This weekend is full of holiday fun, from a Festival of Trees and Musical Cafe to local shopping opportunities.
Sunday is Westwood Community Chest's first Luminary Night, a night for the community to light up the town! Setting out luminaries is a way to show both holiday spirit and also support for neighbors in need.
For lights before Sunday's Luminary Night, check out Elm Bank's Festival of Trees. The viewing experience is different every year, as local organizations donate creatively decorated trees to be raffled off.
