Waltham has two family-friendly events going on Saturday.

At 10 a.m., members of the Prospect Hill Park Advocacy Group will lead a nature walk in the park. Attendees should meet at the back gate, which is accessible by Prospect Hill Rd. at the south end of the park. The walk will go up to Berry’s Pond, Camp One, and the Berry Farm area.

Then, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., REACH Beyond Domestic Violence and the Friends of the Waltham Public Library are holding their Fall Festival and block party at the Waltham Public Library.

The event is free and there will be the Galapogas Puppet Show, magicians, fire truck fun, face painting, arts and crafts, and music by Back Monkey and Edward Sorto. There will also be a raffle to win prizes like tickets to Sunday’s Red Sox/Yankees game; dinner at local restaurants; and a gift certificate to Marcou Jewelers.
