Westfield Aqua Turkey Trot 2024
Instead of waiting until after Thanksgiving dinner to work off those calories, why not burn a little extra ahead of time? And enjoy a bit of fun as well. The Westfield Aqua Turkey Trot 2024 offers both and it costs nothing to attend.

- Where: Westfield Area YMCA (220 Clark St)
- When: Wednesday, November 27th from 9:30 am to 10:25 am
- Admission: FREE

Westfield Aqua Turkey Trot 2024
Come to the Westfield Area Y’s Aqua Turkey Trot the day before Thanksgiving. Instead of jogging on land, the Aqua Turkey Trot takes place in the Y’s Wallace Pool at their main facility in Westfield. Dive on in and go for a “jog”. There will also be fun trivia games to keep you entertained. While admission is free, organizers still request that you register ahead of time. Why? Because they only allow a certain amount of people. The only restriction for participation is that you must be at least 15 years old on the day of the event.
Cranford Aqua Turkey Trot 2024
Cranford’s YMCA also offers its own Aqua Turkey Trot. But theirs takes place on Monday, November 22nd from noon to 12:55 pm. It also costs nothing to participate. All aqua “joggers” must be at least 15 years old to participate and need to register online beforehand. For more information about Cranford’s event, please contact organizer Kim Koza-Baird at 908-844-9622 x326 or via email.

Westfield National Night Out 2024
Back in 1984, law enforcement agencies partnered up with watch groups, civic groups, crime prevention agencies, and volunteers to create the very first National Night Out. What started with 400 communities in just under half of the states in the US grew to include 38 million people in 16,000 communities across the entire United States in 2016. Experts predict that this year’s event, including Westfield National Night Out, may help bring those numbers up even higher in 2024.

Westfield Sidewalk Sale 2024
Boy. So far, summer’s been pretty soggy. And it appears that this wet weather will continue for a bit. Partner that with rising temperatures and you really feel the humidity in the air. But the weather isn’t the only thing that’s hot. Downtown businesses offer their best deals of the summer at the annual Westfield Sidewalk Sale.
- What: Westfield Sidewalk Sale 2024
- Where: Downtown Westfield Businesses

Westfield Sidewalk Sale 2024
Each year, businesses in the downtown area mark down their prices and set their merchandise out on the sidewalk for patrons to check out. This year, the annual sidewalk sale starts on Thursday, July 11th and continues to the end of the day on Sunday, July 14th. This provides the perfect opportunity to find a great birthday, anniversary, retirement, promotion, baby shower, or hostess gift. And if you want to start knocking gifts off your Christmas list super early, this sidewalk sale makes that easier than ever. Plus, you help support our local businesses. Don’t worry about any wet weather either. If Mother Nature decides not to cooperate, the deals move inside but the shopping continues.
Westfield Sweet Sounds Downtown
Other summertime fun in Westfield includes a live concert (or three) every Tuesday evening in July and August. Sweet Sounds Downtown features three different musical acts on three different stages throughout the Downtown Westfield area each and every week from 6 pm to 9 pm starting next Tuesday, July 9th. The public pays absolutely nothing to enjoy these amazing artists either. How great is that? Tuesday becomes the new date night with Downtown Westfield the new date night place to be this summer.

Westfield HS Arts on the Lawn 2024

Fortunately, several food trucks will be on-site to provide the sustenance needed to keep you going throughout the afternoon.
Organizers plan on hosting Arts on the Lawn on (you guessed it) the lawn outside of Westfield High School. While the weather may be cloudy, no rain is expected. However, in case of rainfall, the festivities move inside the school. But it will take place on Saturday no matter what.

Westfield Spring Fling 2024
So far, we’ve had a pretty wet spring. But that won’t deter this year’s celebration: Westfield Spring Fling 2024. Organizers plan on holding this event come rain or shine.
- What: Westfield Spring Fling 2024
- Where: Downtown Westfield
- When: Sunday, May 5th, 10 am to 5 pm
- Admission: FREE
Westfield Spring Fling 2024
This year’s Spring Fling happens this Sunday, May 5th. According to the weatherman, it looks like we may experience a damp Sunday. So, make sure that you check the weather report before you leave home. You might need to add a jacket and umbrella to your ensemble to stay dry. But it still sounds like a lot of fun.
Live entertainment for the day includes Big Horse Band and Monkey Wrench. They perform on the Quimby Street stage in the afternoon. Dozens of local vendors line the streets all day long selling clothing, accessories, jewelry, artwork, leather goods, and more.
You definitely won’t want to skip on the food vendors either. Between Cousins Maine Lobster, The Empanada Truck, and The Big Bad Cookie Company are only a few of the more than 20 food vendors keeping folks fed at the festival. Fortunately, organizers added tables and chairs to make eating a bit easier this year.
Also, this year’s event includes dinosaurs. While not life-size, per se, the animatronics and puppetry used to operate these prehistoric beasts make them incredibly life-like. Don’t be surprised if you see a velociraptor or mini-T-Rex saunter up and say “hi” while you wander around the downtown area. Fortunately, though, these dinosaurs do not bite. So, you’re safe.
Westfield Girls’ Night Out
It’s not too late to sign up for Westfield’s Girls’ Night Out 2024. Admission costs nothing. But you still need to register to participate.

With the great deals offered only on Girls’ Night Out, you should pick up a little something for yourself as well.
It costs nothing to participate in Girls’ Night Out. However, you do need to register ahead of time. Each store offers its own discounts, special promotions, and a treat or two. Take a selfie with your friends and family in one of the photo booths along the way. Make sure you pop your colors, grab the neon lace gloves, peg those jeans, and spray your hair to high heaven.
