Free BBQ, Circus, Crafts At Waltham Neighborhoods Fall Festival

WALTHAM, MA — As school starts up this week and the last of summertime activities become distant memories replaced by the sounds of school, at least there are the fall festivals folks can look forward to.

Mark your calendars for the first one, complete with free BBQ: The 8th annual Waltham Neighborhoods Fall Festival is Saturday, Sept. 9 from 1-4 p.m. on the front lawn of the Waltham Public Library, 735 Main Street, Waltham.

If it rains, the event will be inside the library on the same day and at the same time.

Sponsored by REACH Beyond Domestic Violence and the Friends of the Waltham Public Library, the Fall Festival has become a family-friendly way for the Waltham community to come together for food, games, and entertainment – all for free.

It’s also a great way for folks in Waltham to meet their neighbors.

Included in the festivities will be a ZUMBA class, circus acts, music, crafts, a community art project, a scavenger hunt, a chance to win prizes and a free barbecue.
