Things To Do around Westwood This Weekend: Friday, Aug 25 - Sunday, Aug 27

As the summer winds down, take an opportunity to go to one more summer fair, one more Biergarten, one more trip to a local farm. Then, while getting the kids ready for the start of school, consider picking up some extra supplies to donate at University Station's School Supply Drive for students who have been impacted by homelessness.

For these and more things to do, read on. If you haven't already, subscribe to Westwood Minute for local events and activities!
