Submit your event/s here. Note that we limit event listings mainly to free or inexpensive public events in Wellesley, such as talks, films, theatre productions, concerts, etc. This is not a place for businesses to promote themselves, their classes, etc. Please don’t submit events that run for weeks and weeks. We approve event listings before they go live, typically within 24 hours.
No business sales, trunk shows, etc. (those would be paid advertisements). Please go easy on the ALL CAPS, exclamation points!!!!, etc.

Keynote speaker and racial justice educator-activist, scholar, and author Dr. Jennifer Yanco will discuss her book Misremembering Dr. King: Revisiting the Legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., in which she invites us to reconsider how Dr. King is remembered and to revisit the radicalism of his work and legacy.
The program consists of two parts—a ticketed breakfast and discussion, 8am to 10:30am; followed by a family program with free admission, from 10:30am-noon. The all-ages family program will feature interactive MLK-themed activities for children.
