FRAMINGHAM, MA — Due to extreme temperatures, all three Framingham beaches will be open at no cost this weekend (July 20-21) to Framingham residents.

The National Weather Service announced that temperatures will feel like 100 - 112 today and on
Sunday. This is due to temperatures predicted to be 96 - 102 today and Sunday, and humidity being in the low-mid-70s.

Residents who have purchased beach tags can show their tags or proof of residency to access the
beaches. All other Framingham residents only need to show proof of residency like a drivers license for beach access.
