| Perfect Harmony – Free ticket | Thu 9/9 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| If you’re a fan of this blog you’ll know that I’ve got a soft spot for a capella. And now here’s a musical based on an a capella contest. I’m going as “press” and have a free ticket if someone would like to come along. I got some free movie tickets this week, too, but it was crap and I don’t pass that along to ya. Stoneham Theatre, Stoneham, MA.  see details on the complete Events Insider |

| Brazilian Independence Day Festival | Sun 9/12 | Boston Metro |

| Boston Arts Festival | Fri 9/10 – Sun 9/12 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| The Boston Arts Festival is sort of a “preview” of the music and theatre season. It starts with music and short theatre performances on just 2 stages, but adds in glassblowing, steel drums, Blue Man Group, and even poetry reading. Christopher Columbus Park, Boston, MA.617-635-3245. see details on the complete Events Insider |

| Life is Good Festival | Sat 9/11 – Sun 9/12 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| I would recommend this event instead, from the people with the t-shirts. They’ll have live music, a sack race, obstacle course, a rock climbing wall, a dog acrobatics show, and a seed spitting contest. Prowse Farm, Canton, MA. see details on the complete Events Insider |

| Celebrate 375 in Concord | Sat 9/11 – Sun 9/12 | Metro West |

| Captain David Brown`s Concord Minute Company | Sat 9/11 – Sun 9/12 | Metro West |
 |
|
| Meanwhile, an “encampment” of re-enactors basically means guys in costume bring tents and pretend to be old-timey people. These ones are minute men, which I’m pretty sure refers to bedroom performance. North Bridge, Concord, MA. see details on the complete Events Insider |

 |
|
