Westwood Minute publishes community-submitted event listings as a public service. Inclusion does not constitute endorsement.
It's an eclectic mix of activities coming up, from fairytales to fundraisers and protests to planetariums. You may be helping your child dress up for a magical night at the library or topping your own head with a derby hat to head to a Gala!
Westwood Public Library holds a magical night for the kids at the library with Fairytale Night (costumes encouraged) while Westwood Community Chest holds its Gala for the adults (big hats encouraged).
You'll also find the kick-off to an Egg Hunt at Berlin Farm. Closer to home, Select Board candidates kick-off their campaigns and locals have organized No Kings gatherings in Westwood, Needham, and Dedham.
An annual Spring quilting show holds a hunt of its own (among other intriguing activities), while viewers of the planetarium film, "Undiscovered Worlds," go on a hunt for Earth-like planets.
Check out these and other activities, below! Remember to confirm event details and make note of any changes before heading out the door.
