July Jubilation
Sidewalk Sale & Festival in Wellesley Square
DATE: Saturday, July 20, 2024
TIME: 9:30am-4:30pm
This is big! Music, entertainment for all ages, live performances, and incredible savings as scores of merchants fill the sidewalks and streets of Wellesley Square with irresistible products and discounts.
The annual summertime celebration is a time to enjoy a fun day out with the whole family in beautiful Wellesley. Part of Wellesley Square will be closed to traffic especially for July Jubilation to allow dozens of local merchants to show off their incredible deals under tents and on tables outside, and for visitors to stroll freely.
Live music, a stilt walker and a balloon twister, along with a bouncy house, and more will keep the kids entertained. The July Jubilation atmosphere is always festive and energetic—with music, shopping, a petting zoo, martial arts demos, and more, how could it be otherwise?
Central Street will be closed to traffic between Abbott Street and Weston Road during July Jubilation. Drivers should plan on detours in that area.
The Select Board has approved free parking in Wellesley Square at 2-hour street meters during the event. Look for specifically designated free parking areas. Please note: Parking fees will be enforced in all non-designated locations and in municipal parking lots.
