5 Things to Do This Weekend

The weekend is here and Hamilton-Wenham Patch delivers you our “Get Out” planner for what is shaping up to be an action packed weekend.

There is everything from a kite day for the kids to a car show for the car enthusiasts to polo for sports people.

But there’s much more going on this weekend than what’s here so we encourage you to look past this weekend guide into our full calendar of events, where we have all the events in the towns listed.
