Second Annual Westwood Holiday Walkabout is coming!

This will be a wonderfully festive day of holiday fairs here in Westwood. Westwood Artists, First Parish Church of Westwood, and the First Baptist Church of Westwood are coordinating plans to hold their annual December fairs on the same day. All three sites will be hosting local artists, artisans, crafters, food and music, and it’s an easy walk from one site to the next.

First Baptist Church Holly Fair
808 High Street
9:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Site number 1 on the map, the First Baptist Church’s Holly Fair will feature items made by the Crafters’ Group at the church as well as the always popular attic treasures, baked goods, and gently used jewelry. There will be several local vendors displaying their wares, and a hot lunch will be available.

Westwood Artists December Marketplace
Fisher School, Westwood Historical Society, 830 High Street
10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

At site 2, right next door at the Historical Society’s Fisher School, Westwood Artists will be holding their December Marketplace. Ten Westwood resident artisans (Carol Ahearn, Karen Cagan, Lisa WB Walker, Jane Wojick, Betsy Husted, Cynthia Senerchia, Lexi Jackson, Maureen Obey, Michael Manning, and Arlene Fafara) will be showing and selling a wide range of hand-crafted items in a range of media, including painting, photography, jewelry, pottery and ceramics, baby knits, felt, and collage. The Fisher School itself is a charming antique one-room schoolhouse with beautiful original wallpaper.

First Parish Church Christmas Fair
252 Nahatan Street
9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Site 3 is round the corner and up the hill. The First Parish Christmas Fair will include wreaths, Christmas cookies, a silent auction, and gently used Christmas ornaments and decorations. Local artisans will be in attendance selling their hand-crafted items. The kitchen crew will be serving up freshly made to-go orders of hot soups and chili.

Adding to the festivities, the Mass Appeal Boston a capella singers will be back this year bringing live choral music to each site throughout the day.

All three groups are excited about collaborating on this second annual holiday celebration here in Westwood.
