We lit the Hanukkah Menorah on the beautiful Westford Town Common. We had an amazing crowd on the snow covered common. Rabbi Zaman of Nashoba Valley Chabbad led the service and provided delicious Jelly Donuts. Thank you to the people of Westford
The Westford farmers market is the best in the area, it's twice the size of Chelmsford's or Acton's.
The war memorial goes back to the French and Indian war.
Cute town common, a bit small, but grrr the job done. Lots of events are held here, including a farmer's market on Tuesdays during the summer.

Westford Town Common is a charming and historic place where various events take place, from lighting the Hanukkah Menorah with a crowd on the snow-covered common to enjoying delicious Jelly Donuts provided by Rabbi Zaman. The town common hosts a renowned farmers market, larger than neighboring towns', and features a war memorial dating back to the French and Indian War. Visitors enjoy the annual Strawberry Festival with arts and crafts vendors, music, great food, and Strawberry Shortcake. It's described as a breath of space in rapidly developing Westford, offering more than meets the eye for events, picnics, or leisurely walks.Review score

Pecora's CrystalRockArts is here on the Westford Common at the Strawberry Festival. Held every year 2nd or 3rd weekend in June. There are lots of wonderful arts and crafts vendors from all over the area, plus music, great food, and of course Strawberry Shortcake Yahoo!
Awesome breath of space in the rapidly developing Westford area. Much larger than it looks, great place for events (contact rec department), picnics or a nice walk
