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.
We also appreciate any contributions to support our independent journalism venture.
Thanks, Deborah & Bob

Edible book festival
Saturday, March 29
9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Wakelin Room, Wellesley Free Library
What is the Edible Book Festival?
Around April 1st, bibliophiles, book artists, and food lovers around the world gather to celebrate the book arts and the (literal!) ingestion of culture. Participants create an “edible book,” which can be inspired by a favorite tale, involve a pun on a famous title, or simply be in the shape of a book (or scroll, or tablet, etc). All entries will be exhibited, documented, then EATEN!
How do you participate?
Find a book. Create a (mostly) edible object that relates to the written word. Books, poems, short stories, graphic novels or anything written can serve as the inspiration.
On Saturday, March 29th:
- 9:00 – 11:00am: Bring your creation to the Wakelin Room
- 11:00am – 2:00pm: Vote on your favorite creation
- 2:00pm: Winners announced
Categories will be:
· Best Kid Creation (must be fully made by ages 12 and under)
· Best Visual Presentation
· Funniest/Punniest
· Best Entry Based on Book for Children or Teens
· Best Collaborative Creation (groups of 2 or more)

- 2:30pm – 3:30pm: Try all the tasty creations!
