For the last weekend of May, a community celebration in Medfield closes out Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, while a nest box workshop in Dover helps ensure that bluebirds have a place to nest during their breeding season.
Even with rain in the forecast, a live music biergarten with covered seating and stage will let the show go on, but keep an eye out for weather alerts on Sunday, before heading out to a chalk festival!
And rain or shine, donations of new or like-new clothing and unopened hygiene products can be dropped off in Dedham to support Circle of Hope, a nonprofit that supports families experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity.
