After Saturday was disappointingly wet, the following day, September 28, was mercifully clear and bright. So, it was a perfect day for the family-friendly events in Cambridge. And that included the furry family members.
Emily’s Produce hosted Pups in the Patch for the fifth year, inviting well behaved canines to greet the farm animals, explore the pumpkin patch and the corn maze, and meet other dogs, including adoptable guests from Baywater Animal Rescue.
Pups in the Patch was a concept thought up by owner Emily Wright and her mother, who happily support Baywater.
“We’ll do fundraisers throughout the year, but this one’s just the best one,” said Wright. “Hopefully, on a nice day, people bring their animals out and kind of get some exercise out in the patch. It’s just a good time. And it brings out, you know, it’s not just a kids’ event. It’s about families.”
Something else that brought out families on Sunday was the annual Dorchester Center for the Arts Showcase in Downtown Cambridge.
Spread out on High, Poplar, and Race Streets, the art walk and street festival featured food vendors, nonprofit organizations, and live music and dance.
Additionally, there were opportunities to create art with chalk drawings in the Craig’s parking lot. It was DCA’s way of “celebrating our creative community.”
