There’s plenty to do in Wellesley, Mass., this weekend:
Parents Day Out
The Wellesley Square Merchants’ Association’s
Parents Day Out is a time when everyone can enjoy specials offered by participating merchants in the Square. On Friday, Sept. 20 & Saturday, Sept. 21, many of the area’s stores will offer discounts and deals, so make sure you stop by and shop, dine, and enjoy Wellesley Square.

Wellesley Theatre Project production
Wellesley Theatre Project presents How to Train Your Dragon, The Musical, Jr. Shows take place on Sept. 20-22, at the WTP Studio Theater, 219 Washington St. Tickets here.
Based on the DreamWorks Animation film, How To Train Your Dragon brings the adventures of Hiccup and Toothless to life on stage. This heartwarming coming-of-age story follows Hiccup, a misfit teen from the village of Berk, who can’t kill a dragon. Tossed into dragon-fighting school, he tries to prove himself, but instead develops an unlikely friendship with Toothless, an injured dragon. Together, the dynamic duo strives to end the war between dragons and vikings, all while showing us that being a true hero means being true to yourself.
