10 Things To Do This Weekend (Dec 27-Dec 29)

new-bedford-weather

Though Winter has officially begun, this weekend won’t be winter-like at all! We will only dip into freezing temperatures for a short time on Friday and Sunday mornings, but for the rest of the weekend we will enjoy temperatures in the mid-40s. Flannel and jeans for us! Though, it appears we may see a bit of rain on Sunday with a 70% chance of precipitation. Considering we has a few snow days this Autumn, to have a rain day in the Winter is just fine.

As always, click on the title for more or detailed information on the event. Most of the events were pulled from our event calendar  where you can find hundreds of local area events each month.
