What's New?
The fall passport to needham
On Saturday, November 14, Social & Main will host The Fall Passport to Needham, a social crawl celebrating the local businesses and people who make Needham special. A portion of ticket proceeds will benefit Circle of Hope, which will help us provide clothing and essentials to individuals and families experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity.
Guests will check in at PEX Health & Fitness, then visit participating Needham businesses for seasonal treats, special offers and activities—including a special appearance by Charles River Ballet’s Nutcracker Sweet. The afternoon will wrap up at Cappella’s.
