Things To Do around Westwood: Thursday, July 30 to Tuesday, August 4

This weekend's entertainment options include two outdoor concerts, including one that celebrates America's 250th anniversary. Local libraries are hosting a movie sing-along and a sensory story time, and the public can watch New England football players in action at Patriots Training Camp.

Those interested in civic engagement can provide feedback on plans for a smaller Fire Station 1 in Westwood before the steering commitee submits its final recommendation to Westwood Select Board on August 7.
