Families can also take advantage of the town's Summer Eats program, offering free breakfast and lunch weekdays through Aug. 15 at the 575 Brookline Ave. playground. The site also features activities like face painting, music and the mobile library.
Another summer favorite returns Aug. 4 when the Brookline Police Department hosts National Night Out at Lynch Recreation Center. The free event includes bounce houses, a K-9 demonstration, touch-a-truck vehicles, games and food.
The Brookline Farmers' Market continues every Thursday through Nov. 19 in Coolidge Corner, with local produce, baked goods, seafood, meats and more. SNAP/EBT and HIP benefits are accepted.
