After May showers caused it to be pushed back to September for the past two years, the weather forecast for the weekend is looking good for the 36th annual Belmont Town Day, hosted by the Belmont Center Business Association and sponsored by Watertown Savings Bank.

The Belmont Lions Club will get things underway with a pancake breakfast at its clubhouse, 2 Common St., from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.
There will be multiple tables and tents with local groups, non-profits, retailers and restaurants, along with kiddie rides, basketball hoops, and a always popular dunk tank which the proceeds go to Belmont Helps. There will be mini-race car driving, robots, and drone flying for kids.
On Saturday, the Belmont Garden Club is holding its annual Perennial Sale from 9 a.m. to noon, and they’ll be doing it rain or shine at the Lions Club, 1 Common St., across from the WWI memorial and the commuter rail station.
