With a beautiful weekend in the weather forecast, the fun starts early, with the first day of a four-day carnival in Needham and a summer sunset at Powisset Farm on Thursday.
Outdoor activities continue with a biergarten in Walpole on Friday, a guided walk in Rocky Woods and a lawn concert in Canton on Saturday, and a family-friendly concert hosted by Westwood Young Women's Club on Monday.
On Wednesday, predictions of rain won't dampen the showing of the planetarium presentation set to Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon.
