Things To Do around Westwood This Weekend: Friday, Feb 24 - Sunday, Feb 26

Skiers and snowboarders are celebrating snow, at long last, this weekend! But there are seasonal activities for fun, even if you're not sliding down a mountain somewhere! Try a  maple-sugaring tour in Natick or do some good and help others stay warm by dropping off a clothing donation at University Station. 

Keep vacationing kids and families entertained with a magic show or a glass fusing class.

If you can stay up late, there's also an opportunity to join the SpaceX Crew-6 launch, virtually!

Whatever you choose to do, remember to check ahead for any changes, weather-related or otherwise, before heading out the door.
