I also run a mostly automated #Framingham city-wide events calendar which is easily searchable, at www.framinghamevents.com

Below is an example of searching for holiday, Christmas, or fair (using the | character for OR, no spaces around the pipe). I'm sure there will be more entries soon!
A webpage showing Framingham Events listings. The page header explains it uses an automated scraper to import events from the Framingham Public Library and Community Calendar. There's a search hint explaining how to use the | character for OR searches, with examples for music-related events. A search box contains 'holiday|Christmas|fair'. The page shows a table of events with columns for Title, Date, Starting time, and Place. Two visible events are listed: Holiday Marketplace on 2024-12-07 at 10:00 am at Framingham High School, and WinterFest on 2024-12-08 at 11:00 am at First Parish church.
