With some restrictions slowly being lifted and the emergence of bubble families, our new Covid reality is continues to evolve. We appreciate how businesses have pivoted and are making things work, despite fewer staff and shortened weeks. What’s Happening Online on the South Shore will direct you to virtual events, curb-side pick-ups and delivery options for those looking for something to do or to support our community.

From concerts and yoga, to book clubs and coffee chats, there is no shortage of cultural and social events that we can partake in from the comfort of our home.
