Summer adventures await! Before we blast off onto July's celebrations, let's take a moment to remember some festive June moments.
Waltham Riverfest provided an all-day (and night) party, including live music, food trucks, face painting, art exhibition, games, and a glorious opportunity to let loose and enjoy our community.
The Waltham Museum opened its brand new exhibit: Grover Cronin's. This is a large ongoing multi-media experience, curated specially with behind-the-scenes detail and personal memories.

The events I have chosen this month are as always, local, and either free or low-cost. The themes of my listings hover around all things air and space: rockets, UFOs, moon landing, Mars exploration, NASA, Amelia Earhart, telephony science through inner space, and the Grover Cronin's holiday adventures with aircraft. BLAST-OFF!
