Juneteenth updates

In yesterday’s newsletter we featured a Juneteenth event on Waltham Common which we later learned was based on an old posting. There will be no event today on the commons. Our team works hard to fact-check every piece of information that we publish, but this one slipped past in the wee hours. We regret the error.

Other holiday updates

All Waltham city offices and the Waltham Public Library will be closed today.

There will be no trash and recycling collection today. Thursday and Friday pick-ups will be delayed by one day.

Parking at the 200 Trapelo Road playground will be by reservation only. Make your reservation online here.

Girls’ field hockey clinic today

Update – The clinic is now full, so walk-ins can no longer be accepted.

Here is a great opportunity for girls entering first to fifth grade this fall. Taylor Scafidi, head coach for Waltham High School’s field hockey team, is offering a free field hockey clinic this week, June 18–20. The camp meets from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Veterans Athletic Complex, 385 Forest St. Girls are welcome to join today even if they missed the first day of the camp. Additional details and Coach Scafidi’s contact information are posted here.
