More than you really want to know about Wellesley, Mass.
Due to a possible Box of Rain late on Wednesday afternoon, Wellesley’s Recreation Department has decided to hang it up for tonight and see what next Wednesday, August 15 brings for the Deadbeat concert (Grateful Dead covers, and more).
CONCERT POSTPONED TO: Wed., August 15
PLACE: Town Hall Green
TIME: 7 – 8:30pm
Wellesley Recreation says based on the weather forecast tonight’s (July 25) summertime concert in cancelled. There is no makeup date for the Reminisants to entertain us with their great oldies music.
Join Rec on Wednesday August 1, 7pm, on the the Town Hall Green when they present the final concert of the season, “Deadbeat,” a Grateful Dead tribute band.
SPONSORED POST: Come join the fun at one of Wellesley’s most-loved summer traditions, the July Jubilation Sidewalk Sale, sponsored by The Wellesley Square Merchants’ Association. All the excitement takes place in Wellesley Square on Saturday, July 21, 9:30am – 4:30pm, when Central St. is closed to traffic and open to bouncy houses, a stilt walker, the bubble zone, and more.
The shopping and family fun extravaganza traditionally offers great opportunities to shop Wellesley first, as well as plenty of activities for kids at an event that has been going strong for over 25 years. Maybe it’s the petting zoo or the chance to enjoy the Wellesley Theatre Project’s skits. Maybe it’s the chance to drop a Wellesley firefighter into a dunk tank. Or maybe it’s just a great excuse to stroll around Wellesley Square and see what there is to see. Whatever your reason for going, you don’t want to miss the fun.
SHOPPING: A record number of over sixty merchants will offer extraordinary savings at sidewalk sales from one end of the Square to the other. Whether you’re looking for toys, clothing, books, home decor, handbags, and more, merchants will be on the sidewalks and in the streets with deep discounts on good stuff.
FUN: Keep an eye out for the stilt walker, magic and balloon tricks, caricaturist, bubble zone, Rockin’ Railroad performances, bounce house, face painting, open police cruiser, and live music.
PARKING: All this and free parking too, thanks to the Town of Wellesley.
FOOD: Maybe your first stop will be Sam’s Hot Dogs at Church Square. Or enjoy the offerings at Bocado, B.Good, Upper Crust Pizza, and July Jubilation Sidewalk Sale’s newest addition, Smith & Wollensky.
MUSIC: The Wellesley Symphony; sing-a-long; disc jockey; live music by The Collective

The Glamour Girls made their annual appearance at the Wellesley Recreation Department’s summer concert series on Wednesday night, banging out nonstop hits and sparkliness.
Ran into a handful of celebrities (a.k.a, our friends), including a couple of rockin’ husbands whose kids are too old to go and whose wives couldn’t be talked into attending.
