James DeMarco grew up in Watertown and became a goaltender at age 5. It’s his life’s passion to stand between the pipes and keep the puck out of the net. Combining this with the love of cartooning Small Saves emerged in 1991 and took on a life of his own. “To play goal – then come home and draw Small Saves — is my ideal definition of a good day.”

Watertown may not resemble Hollywood. There’s no giant white sign on a hill, no people in knock-off Elmo suits trying to hassle tourists for photos, no bus tours of famous people’s driveways. But believe it or not, Watertown has its own little Hollywood row. Four filmmakers here are documenting stories of family, recovery, civic life, and identity.
This Friday, the most happening day of the weekend, you can start the morning with a Creative Chat at the Mosesian, for anyone involved in the arts, and end the day with a classical voice and piano benefit concert at First Parish Church or at a Tantra Speed Date event. Once you have found your date, take them to the Solstice events at Mount Auburn Cemetery on Saturday. All day there will be organized walks, craft workshops, a wide variety of music performances, a sound meditation, and a poetry reading. Some activities are free and some are paid, so be sure to take a careful look at the whole schedule and register as needed. The Greek Festival will be on all weekend.
