Things To Do around Westwood This Weekend: Friday, Sept 8 - Sunday, Sept 10

With high school fall sports kicking off, this Friday brings three opportunities to cheer on the home team. Westwood's Wolverines have match-ups in field hockey, volleyball, and football, at 4 p.m, 6:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. The most spirited fans can attend all three!

On Saturday morning, Norwood Day begins with a parade from Morrill Memorial Library, ending at the town gazebo where the festival takes place. For fun in the evening, the German Club's Oktoberfest runs until late night in Walpole.

On Sunday, First Parish of Westwood opens its doors to the community with a coffee hour in the morning.  Later on in the day, families can venture into Canton for a free concert and activities at the Paul Revere Heritage site.
