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

While this second weekend of December is much quieter than the first, it offers some opportunities for making some particularly special memories.

Sunday is Luminary Night in Westwood. That's when we watch the town light up, as participants set luminaries outside on their properties at the same time, in a show of community and unity. Various pop-up shops for luminary kit sales have come and gone, but there's still a chance to get your luminary kit from Decor and More or Bean Farm this weekend, if you haven't already. 

For more information on Luminary Night and other events, read on. To post your own event to the Westwood Minute Calendar, just register for a free account, and post away! And if you haven't already, subscribe to get Westwood Minute delivered directly to your email inbox.
