WEEKEND FUN: Lantern Parade, Unity Breakfast, Gore Family History, Mixed Martial Arts

Gore PlaceFind out about Growing Up in the Gore Family during the event at Gore Place on Sunday. This is a weekend packed with appealing fun activities in town. To start, should you not be working on Friday morning, I suggest starting your weekend’s activities with a creative chat at the Mosesian Center for the Arts. Maybe you will be motivated to use some of your new arts and crafts supplies from last weekend’s swap shop afterwards. Then you will definitely want to head out on Saturday afternoon to watch the 1st annual River Lantern Parade.

Feeling crafty? This coming weekend is going to start with a workshop for making lanterns at the Hatch Maker Space on Saturday. (Are you aware of the River of Light Festival coming up on the 18th?)

After making a beautiful lantern, walk over to the library for the craft swap in the afternoon. Maybe you’ve been inspired to be more creative and need some supplies. Saturday evening brings a delicious dinner and dance in celebration of Armenian Christmas at St.

The new year is here, for some bringing hope, perhaps of a new grandchild or a serious commitment to the keto diet, for others it comes with much trepidation, of those same things. In any case, there are some fun things to do this weekend in town. After a day of rest and then only a couple of workdays, let’s all get back out there on the weekend and enjoy life’s local pleasures. The Armenian Museum of Art is open and free this weekend. I love the current Tsitoghdzyan show.

WEEKEND FUN: Nutcracker on Stage & on Screen, Vintage Market, Jingle Jam & Yoga

I am returning from an extended vacation and a visit from COVID with a very Christmas-themed Watertown weekend, my apologies for missing the Chanukah party last weekend. This weekend Watertown is digging into Christmas seriously with both a movie and a live performance of the Nutcracker. The performance at the Mosesian Center is a ballet that takes a different twist on the story. The film of a traditional ballet performance is at the Majestic 7. At Grace Chapel on Sunday afternoon, there is a kid-focused Christmas party, and at Arsenal Yards, a cool pop-up market for buying sustainable locally made gifts.

Weekend Fun: Art Sales, Children’s Theatre, Wine Tasting, D&D and More

Thanksgiving is not quite here, but this Saturday holiday sales are starting, and they look quite interesting. Saturday morning, you can indulge in the pleasures of beautiful pottery at the Indigo Fire Pottery sale. That afternoon, a show of local artisans is being hosted at Get Lively, and it also features Provincetown artist Joan Pereira. That looks well worth checking out. When the art show ends, there’s a free Croation wine tasting at Gordon’s Fine Wines and Liquors.

Weekend Fun: Craft Night, Irish Music, Spanish Dancing, Drawing Workshop & More

By |

This weekend starts off with a craft night at the library maker space on Friday for the LGBTQ community. Then Saturday there’s an Irish band playing at the Ancient Order of the Hibernians that could well get you singing and dancing the night away. If you’d prefer a Latin beat, Olespana can serve up a variety of Spanish food, to be followed by dancing in the later hours. Sunday is the time for quieter activities. There’s a drawing workshop at Mt.

WEEKEND FUN: Halloween Activities, Fall Fest, Planting Party, Clothes Swap & More

By |

Fall is here in all its glory, with plenty of outdoor festivals, Halloween activities, and even a planting party to plant a micro forest outside the Lowell School. First, on Friday, head to the library for a children’s clothing swap. You may need some fun clothes for your kids’ Halloween costumes, or a new winter coat to cover their costumes, as the temperature turns downward. Saturday afternoon, you can catch the Fall Festival at Grace Chapel in the early afternoon and then head to the Commander’s Mansion to wander through the inflatable corn maze and get spooked in the mansion. (I’m dying to see what the corn maze is like!) If you are more in the gardening frame of mind, and this is a great time to plant, head over to the Lowell School to watch or help out in the planting of the Miyawaki or micro forest.
