The City of Westfield and Westfield Welcome have announced a summer lineup at Grand Junction Plaza, 225 S. Union St., that residents will not want to miss.
“There’s certainly something for everyone with our events,” Mayor Scott Willis said. “With summer bringing warmer weather and longer days to be outside, we hope residents can take advantage of what the city has to offer.”
