Last Year's Where's Waldo? Celebration

Next month, for the second year in a row, Melrose will play host to a citywide Where’s Waldo? scavenger hunt organized by Molly’s Bookstore.

Throughout the month of July, Waldo will be hiding inside 25 local businesses and organizations. Participants will search for Waldo inside each business, and receive a stamp on their card (which can be obtained from Molly’s Bookstore) when they find him. There will be prizes for winners and a party at Molly's Bookstore to celebrate at the end of the month.

Find Waldo Local is a nationwide event, now in its 12th year, organized by the American Booksellers Association and Candlewick Press. The goal of the event is to promote independent bookstores and encourage community members to visit local businesses.

Melrose is fortunate to have so many thriving independent and local businesses, and it is exciting to see many of them collaborating on another fun event for Melrosians of all ages.
