Above: I’ve created this page to make it easier to track the many holiday events in or related to Southborough that residents may want to mark on their calendars. (photos from past year’s celebrations and sales top L-R by Susan Fitzgerald and Messiah Chorus, bottom by Beth Melo)
I’ve created this page to keep track of the upcoming events related to the winter holidays (and shopping).1 These are mostly events in town. But I also included a few events in nearby towns when they have clear links to Southborough (like regional singing groups that include residents and events related to our regional high schools.)
I’ll be updating it with links to more details as those are posted. I’ll also regularly remove events after they happen to make it easier to find what is still to come.
If you want to look back at the details of past events, you’ll still be able to find the full list here and holiday related stories here. For this week’s events, including ones that don’t relate to the holidays, click here.)
Continuing this season
