Holiday Happenings This Weekend

A Very Merry Weekend!

By Jenna Amyot December 9, 2022

If you need some nudging to get into the holiday spirit, this weekend is for you! There are so many great events in our cities and towns. Below are my top picks, but wanted to let you parents know that Kids' Art Brunches are back at The Ford Tavern and there's a great craft fair at Missituk Elementary School. As always, if you have an event, share it on my event calendar for free! 

Elf the Musical

Medford High students are putting on a musical performance of Elf this weekend. Tickets are available for Friday and Saturday night!

Holiday Fun at 3rd Ave.

Free photos with Santa? Sign us up (especially because they were... $50 last time we went to the mall)! The event organizers at 3rd Ave. have a great event cooked up for Saturday, including free sleigh rides, free hot chocolate and cookies... and discounted kids' meals at Osteria Nino! 

Step Up Christmas Party

I'm always looking for inclusive events to share with you and I'm so happy to share this one. On Saturday, there's a holiday event designed for children with autism (as well as their siblings!). This event will offer face painting, tattoos, crafting and more! 

Winter Wonderland at Wayside

On Saturday and Sunday, there are some great events happening at Wayside Commons in Burlington (Rudolph will be there on Saturday, Mr. & Mrs. Claus will be there on Sunday). There will be live ice carving and a performance by the Mistle Tones, a holiday a capella group!

Selfies with Santa

Ok, this one is technically on Monday but it was originally scheduled over a rainy weekend, so Monday is the rain date! This is another free holiday gathering with live music and a visit with the big guy.
