First Week of Spring Edition

Celebrate the ancient festival of Nowruz at the MFA! Nowruz is a beloved holiday that signals the beginning of Spring, and has been observed by over 300 million people for more than 3,000 years across the world. The evening features Persian dance by Aftab Dance Group, Turkmen bardic music, Afghan folk songs by the Afghanistan Freeharmonic Orchestra, guided gallery tours, wooden egg painting, on-theme dining specials, among others. Full gallery access included. An incredible way to immerse yourself in different cultures!

A BU professor and post-doc presenting on black holes and the lives of stars (with trivia and prizes!!). Sign me up!

This event always makes my list! Such a great opportunity to check out the rotating displays, or just to stare at the view overlooking the water. Great excuse to spend the evening in Seaport. FYI: If you haven't gotten a chance to see Caroline Monnet's exhibit, "Man-made Land" this weekend is your last chance to go!

Spring might officially start tomorrow (Friday), but life is too short to wait to celebrate! Join BRIX for a lineup of wines with serious lift - bright, zippy, mineral-driven bottles that feel like sunshine in a glass.

Wine tasting pop-up with Couly-Dutheil of Chinon. Explore a selection of Couly-Dutheil's benchmark Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc wines paired with light bites. A dignified event, and a wonderful excuse to dress up!

Direct from Broadway, comes the acclaimed Tony Award-winning musical Suffs about the brilliant, passionate, and funny American women who fought tirelessly for the right to vote. FYI: tickets are selling fast!

Yunchan Lim takes on Schumann's Piano Concerto with the BSO at Symphony Hall, paired with Tchaikovsky's sweeping, dramatic Manfred Symphony. This is the kind of big, full-bodied classical program that feels built for Symphony Hall: a major young piano star up front, then a stormy, cinematic second half.

Dear Annie is hosting a meet-and-greet with Arthur Ostertag of Domaine Ostertag and Baptiste Breton of Domaine Catherine & Pierre Breton, two beloved French winemaking families. Wines from both producers will be available for purchase by the glass and bottle throughout the evening.

Since its founding in Boston in 2007, Lorelei Ensemble has been recognized across the globe for creating and championing bold new music that elevates and amplifies women's voices. The Grammy nominated ensemble presents a concert inspired by the sea and sky at the ICA.

Free Wine tasting at DeLuca's! Great post work/pre-dinner/night out stop, (or destination!).

A wine-bar-meets-dance-party ft DJ Pandamonium, located in a cool venue, Exit Galleries. Funky & artsy & elevated; great bottles, sophisticated snacks, and actually good music.

Jordan Jensen is a stand-up comedian and actor whose hour long comedy special, TAKE ME WITH YOU, recently debuted on Netflix. Great opportunity to keep celebrating Women's History month with a laugh!

Doors at 5:30pm, performances start at 6. Sign up to perform, or just show up to enjoy a free concert (maybe even discover the next big thing!)

If you don't have a Friday night plan yet, this is it. Swedish garage rock legends The Hives are one of the most fun live bands on the planet: high energy, catchy songs, and a frontman (Pelle Almqvist) who performs like every show is the last one on Earth. The Chats open, bringing Australian pub-punk that sounds exactly how you'd hope Australian pub-punk sounds.

Free festival with 30+ New England fiber vendors. The festival features classes and workshops, including free drop-in needle felting, & some ticketed fiber arts workshops such as denim patching, yarn spinning, botanical dyeing, and wool ornament making. There will even be a special appearance from some wooly friends!

This event is a total gem! Bookseller pop-ups, book-themed maker market, Saus's annual Cookbook Swap, author signings, author panels, open mic, workshops, and crafting stations & story time for kids in the morning! Truly something for everyone.

A vibrant celebration of colors at Adams Park, hosted by Shanti Restaurant and Roslindale Village Main Street. This event features Indian music, live DJ, dance performances, food stalls, and colorful powder throwing. Wear white to make the colors pop! Family-friendly, all ages.

DJ Panda uses Vinyl and Digital methods to tell stories of joy and happiness. He has been known to spin an eclectic mix of Funk, Soul, Ska, Rock, Pop, Reggae, Jazz, Disco, Boogie, House, Hip-Hop and a splash of modern pop. Eclectic night out, that is more stylish than clubby. Be sure to support the venue by purchasing food or drinks.

Browse a curated selection of local artists, makers, and small businesses at Lord Hobo's Seaport taproom (2 Drydock Ave). Pair your shopping with a beer and settle in for a relaxed, feel-good afternoon. The kind of plan that starts as "I'll just pop in" and turns into three hours.

Matteo Lane is doing the Wang Theatre, a 3,500-seat room, which should tell you everything about where his career is right now. Before comedy, he lived in Italy as an oil painter and classically trained opera singer (yes, really). He's fluent in five languages, has a six-octave singing range, and was named one of Variety's "10 Comics to Watch." Sharp, genuine, and very very funny. Saturday night comedy pick.

Trevor Wallace is a stand-up comedian, writer & actor. An opportunity to round out your weekend with a laugh!

Create and connect through an interactive installation by Boston-based artist Yenny Hernandez. Experience her stunning mural depicting gratitude in bloom, showing how appreciation can grow within each of us. Reflect on the gratitude in your life through hands-on art-making!

The Hot Girl Walk®, made famous on TikTok by Mia Lind, is coming to Boston! A 3-mile flat-road loop focused on gratitude, goals, and confidence. Come with your girl group or come solo and make new friends. All ages and genders welcome, with giveaways while supplies last.

This is the strongest actual jazz-vibe pick I found for the weekend. A great way to have a smooth Sunday. No cover, but be sure to support the venue by purchasing food or drinks.

If you've never seen FKA twigs live, this is not just a concert. It's a full sensory experience. Experimental pop, choreography, visual art, all blended into something you genuinely won't see anywhere else.

Running now, with timed-entry ticketing attached to general admission this week. Good all-week backup if you need one strong exhibition anchor.

Sunday's version has a different vendor mix plus workshops, so it's not just a repeat of Saturday.

Following a triple-extended New York run, a box-office-record-breaking Chicago run, and a six-week London run, Tony Award-nominated Eddie Izzard brings her acclaimed solo performance of Hamlet to Boston. She portrays men, women, ghosts, scholars, tyrants, courtiers, lovers, fools, and poets, all by herself.

The Greenway's Ferris Wheel has been extended through April! The wheel is 75' tall with unique skyline views.

A chic movie-night pick for anyone who firmly believes florals for spring can, in fact, be groundbreaking. Élevée is screening The Devil Wears Prada. Complimentary drinks and light bites provided! Perfect GNO or post-work plan. Free, but make sure to reserve a ticket in advance.

Tracksmith's weekly speed workout heads to Boston Common this week for 6 x 1200m with 90-second recoveries, followed by post-run snacks and refreshments back at the Trackhouse. Great midweek pick if you want something social, challenging, and more energizing than happy hour. Best suited for runners comfortable running 6-8 miles.
