Things To Do around Westwood This Weekend and Beyond: Saturday, June 6 to Thursday, June 11

Saturday's forecast is hot and sunny, so you may want to bring a hat and put on sunscreen for outdoor activities!
For some live music, head over to Medfield for the New England Americana Festival. Also outdoors, you'll find a family-friendly Touch-a-Truck at Westwood High School.
And there's another touch-a-truck opportunity at Dedham-Westwood Water District's open house in Dedham where visitors can see the district's new vehicle and equipment storage garage.
On Sunday, rain is in the forecast and the Westwood Pride celebration is taking cover and moving from its outdoor location to Thurston Middle School's cafeteria.
Later next week, there's a poetry open mic that's free and open to the public in Hyde Park.
