OK, so I have a Facebook group but also a Facebook fan page. Please join both. The fan page is good because I autogenerate dozens of events and you will see a few of them — Facebook is smart enough not to swamp you. But that means you might miss free stuff. So join the group because I can send out one or two tiny emails a week that you’ll actually see, like movie tickets. I had tickets for Takers yesterday, but it came in-between blog posts, so you missed it.
Please send me your feedback! I want to know what you like and don’t like so I can make this site even better. Love this blog? Subscribe to email, 
, or 
and please tell your friends!

| Free tix: The Expendables, Flipped, The Extra Man | 8/9 – 8/12 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| You keep missing free tickets — like to “Takers” yesterday — because you’re not on the Facebook group (which I email) and the fan page (which I post to). Join both now! This week I’ve got free tickets to the Expendables with Bruce Willis and Jet Li TONIGHT Monday at 7pm, The Extra Man with Kevin Kline TONIGHT Monday, and Flipped Thursday at 7pm in Boston. I also have tickets to advance screening of the Showtime series The Big C and WEEDS, Wed 8/11. Fenway or Boston Common Theatre, Boston, MA. more |

| Chinatown August Moon Festival | 8/15 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| Chinatown is having a celebration where dancing dragons go door to door, sort of a trick or treat experience, leaving the street literally covered with firework casings and lettuce leaves! They’ll also have a stage with cute kids doing martial arts and dance. I’ve been and this is a must see! Highly recommended! 10am-5pm. Main Street, Chinatown, Boston, MA.617-350- 6303. more |

| Even better, visit Rhode Island for asian dance, crafts, martial arts, and dragonboat races all day.

||||
| India Day – Festival & Concert | 8/15 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| Speaking of Indians, I’ve been to the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade in Boston. They have performers and a huge crowd with dozens of booths. As the only South Asian-themed event I know of in Boston, it’s definitely worth a trip. Esplanade, Boston, MA. more |
||||
| Summer Stars and Meteors at Broadmoor | 8/12 | Metro West |
 |
|
| The Perseids (August) and the Geminids (December) are the most reliable of the annual meteor showers. Here’s an astronomy event for older kids and adults to guide your view.

 |
|
| Speaking of gay celebrations, this is 2nd largest annual quilt festival in the Boston area. Be open-minded! I went to a quilt show once and it was actually fantastic, the quilts are really works of art, not grandma checkerboards. Lowell, MA. more |
||||
| World’s Fair of Money | 8/10 – 8/14 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| How crazy is this? A museum exhibition featuring recovered sunken treasure, historic gold coins, and $100,000 bills is coming to Boston, thanks to the American Numismatic Association. They’ll have a demonstration of money engraving and printing too! Tue 1-5:30pm, Wed-Sat, 9:30-5:30pm. Hynes Convention Center, 900 Boylston St, Boston, MA.719-482-9857.. more |
||||
| Thailand Legacy: The King and Cambridge | 8/15 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| This is the 4th asian festival this week! I’ve been to the Longfellow House, and it’s not going to be a huge festival, but it’s definitely worth the trip! Did you know that George Washington used it as his headquarters? No doubt this day of origami, calligraphy, & games will be a great excuse to visit. They’ll have Buddhist monks and demonstrate a traditional Thai wedding. And its free! 105 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA.617-876-4491. more |
||||
| Cambridge Discovery Days | 8/7 – 8/14 | Boston Metro |

||||
| Wilco Solid Sound Festival at Mass MoCA | 8/13 – 8/15 | Western Mass |

||||
| River Glow | 8/14 | Rhode Island |
 |
|
| This is some kind of Water Fire type celebration, with floating bonfires, belly dancing, steel drum bands, jugglers, and more. 7-10pm. Westerly, RI. more |
||||
| Rock, Rattle, & Drum Pow Wow & Spirit on the Mountain Music Festival | 8/14 – 8/15 | Western Mass |
 |
|
| This one seems to be a serious music event, as well as a Native American pow wow, and well worth a visit. Considering camping over that weekend. Don’t be afraid — it’s only 20 minutes over the state border into New York. Rt. 22 & Rt. 43, Stephentown, NY.413-464-0919. more |
||||
| Celebrate Revere | 8/14 | Boston Metro | ||
| This festival seems a little too “family fun” for me — face painting and magic and balloons for kids — but they end with live music and fireworks! Revere Beach, Revere, MA. more |
||||
| Bolton Fair | 8/12 – 8/15 | Worcester |
 |
|
| Both smaller and not arty, it’s yet another agricultural festival! They’ll have a lumberjack contest and show, martial arts, trampolite show, dogs catching frisbees, and a “sheep agility” contest. Let’s just hope it’s the sheep who are demonstrating the agility in that one, not the owners. Bolton Fairgrounds, Rt 117, Exit 27 off Rt 495, Lancaster, MA. more |
||||
| Parade of Lights | 8/14 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| I saw this once in Gloucester. It’s a parade of boats that have lights on them, like a summertime maritime moving Xmas display. It’s fun but very very slow, so bring some friends to chat with while you relax and watch. Boston, MA.781-861-7060. more |
||||
| Boston by Bike at Night | 8/14 – 8/15 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| This architectural and historic tour starts at midnight and goes to dawn with a “pot luck” breakfast. Can’t you guys just go to a cafe for brunch? meet at 11:15pm. Bring something for breakfast Sunday in Christopher Columbus Park. Run by the Back Bay Midnight Pedalers. Trinity Church, 206 Clarendon St., Boston, MA.617-522-0259. more |
||||
| The Secret Lives of Bats | 8/5 – 8/11 | Rhode Island |
 |
|
| In this event, hear a lecture and then go out to actually track down live bats! Pre-register. Note, the photo is not a bat but they didn’t have any bat photos! 8-9pm. Audubon Environmental Education Center, 1401 Hope Street, Bristol, RI.(401) 949-5454 ext. 3041. more |
||||
| Family Nighttime Explorations | 8/13 | Rhode Island |
 |
|
| 7-9pm. Also outdoorsy, you go out at night to look for bats, deer and coyotes. Coyotes? We’re actually going to try to approach coyotes? Then a campfire and s’mores! Awesome!! Register at (401) 949-5454, ext. 3041 or email programs@asri.org. Fisherville Brook Wildlife Refuge, 99 Pardon Joslin Road, Exeter, RI. more |
||||

||||
| Free Admission at Concord Museum | 8/18 | Metro West | ||
| A free day at the Concord Museum may draw you into the numerous local museums. Try the National Heritage Museum in Lexington, which is free always, or the DeCordova Sculpture Museum in Lincoln, my personal favorite. Concord Museum, 200 Lexington Road, Concord, MA.978-369-9763. more |
||||
| Free Fun Fridays: Old Sturbridge Village | 8/13 | Worcester | ||
| But the best free event would be Old Sturbridge Village, my favorite re-enactment museum! Sturbridge, MA. more |
||||
| Essex Street Fair | 8/14 – 8/15 | North Shore |
 |
|
| This is just an excuse to visit Salem before Halloween season. And there are tons of other nearby events as part of Salem’s Heritage Days. Essex Street, Salem, MA. more |
||||
| Phillips House Car Meet | 8/15 | North Shore |

|
| While you’re there, check out the ancient Pierce-Arrows, Model A Ford, and five carriages on display at this car show. “Family games” and jazz music. 12-3pm. Free. Salem, MA.978-744-0440. more |
||||
| Gloucester Waterfront Festival | 8/14 – 8/15 | North Shore |
 |
|
| This street festival is more enticing, I think, if you’re going to be on the North Shore. Gloucester, MA. more |
||||
| Rockport Acoustic Music Festival | 8/15 | North Shore |
 |
|
| I’m including this just as an example of the live outdoor music that you can find all over New England. See my big list below where I track 215 outdoor summer music series! 12-6pm. Rockport, MA. more |
||||

||||
| Rehoboth Antiquarian Society Clambake | 8/15 | Southeast Mass |
 |
|
| Or better yet, this annual celebration of the antiquarian society — the people who run the local Rehoboth museum. It’s New Englandy goodness, check it out. Goff Hall, Rehoboth, MA.508-252-3031. more |
||||
| Newport Storm Luau | 8/14 | Rhode Island |
 |
|
| I would have ranked this higher but it seems to be an alcohol bash thing. But they’ll have live music, Hawaiian themes, and Polynesian dance. When I visited Hawaii I was informed that Polynesia is thousands of miles away and they’re separate cultures. It’s like visiting Boston and seeing Irish dance. Fort Adams State Park, Newport, RI. more |
||||
| Washington County Fair | 8/11 – 8/15 | Rhode Island |
 |
|
| It’s the largest agricultural fair in RI. Does that make it worth visiting? Yes, if you choose something else fun while you’re visiting the area. Washington County Fairgrounds, Richmond Townhouse Rd., Carolina, RI.401-782-8139. more |
||||

 |
|
| This one’s not really on the road to anywhere. Cheshire Fairgrounds, Swanzey, NH. more |
||||

 |
|
| Although I have no interest in jazz whatsoever, perhaps this will inspire you to check out Cape Cod an its CARNIVAL TIME TOO! Provincetown, MA. more |
||||
| Melrose Summer Celebration | 8/13 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| A lot of towns have an annual “town day” and this is one of them. Do we care? Well, they’ll have unspecified “games”, the ubiquitous face painting, and a moon bounce that presumably adults can’t go into. They also promise ‘surprises’, which I assume is code for, ‘we’re still setting up the event’. 11am-2pm. Melrose, MA.(781) 662-9511. more |
||||
| Turners Falls Block Party and Fashion Show | 8/14 | Northwest Mass | ||
| How bad could live music be with a band called “primate fiasco”? :). Turners Falls, MA. more |
||||
| Winslow Farm Kids Day & Treasure Hunt | 8/14 – 8/15 | Southeast Mass |
 |
|
| Winslow farm is in the middle of nowhere but is surprisingly wonderful to discover! This weekend is their anniversary celebration and they’ll have treasure hunts, kids games, live music, and more. Winslow Farm, 37 Eddy Street, Norton, MA.508-285-6451. more |
||||

|
| This one comes with a watermelon eating contest! Awesome! Nashua, NH. more |
||||
| Rhode Island International Film Festival | 8/10 – 8/15 | Rhode Island |
 |
|
| Wow! Nice website! This is the largest film festival in Rhode Island, featuring an H.P. Lovecraft walking tour, plenty of social events, and actors and directors. Providence, RI.401-861-4445. more |
||||
| Martha’s Vineyard African-American Film Festival | 8/11 – 8/14 | Southeast Mass | ||
| And here’s something to do on Martha’s Vinyard if you don’t like sun, beaches, or water. They have a couple of lightweight socials but don’t say if any directors or actors will be present. They have workshops but apparently they’re financial workshops from the festival’s sponsor! Marthas Vinyard, MA. more |
||||
| Illumination Night | 8/18 | Southeast Mass | ||
| This is live music and a sing-along with a “lighting of the lantern”. Whatever, it’s on a wonderful beach island. Go! Marthas Vinyard, MA. more |
||||
| Swim with luminous jellyfish off the Cape | 8/15 – 8/30 | Cape Cod |
 |
|
| Speaking of illumination, I heard once that you could go swimming amongst harmless bioluminescent jellyfish. So I went to Cape Cod to investigate! Near the end of August, sneak into McGansett Beach, in Falmouth. Or any public beach really. Or boat to Tarpaulin Cove. Choose a calm night, because if there’s a lot of waves there may be too much turbulence to see the jellyfish. They are non-stinging, and small, about the size of a goose egg. The creatures glow when there’s motion in the water, so if you disturb the water, such as jumping off the McGansett Beach dock, you see glowing. You might want to stop into the National Marine Life Center, www.nmic.org, for additional assistance. Let me know if you find them! Falmouth, MA. more |
||||
| Boston Restaurant Week – Summer | 8/15 – 8/27 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| Get cheap eats at the fanciest restaurants. A marketing ploy, a tourist event, what’s the difference? Pay $33 and say, What, this is your DISCOUNTED dinner? Where da IHOP at, yo? Various, Boston, MA. more |
||||
| Performance | ||||
| Friday Night Face-Off at ImprovBoston | 7/16 – 8/27 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| I caught this show last week and it was great fun to see two improv teams compete, building comedy out of wacky words shouted out by the audience. Goats! Goatees! Goat tease! 40 Prospect St, Cambridge, MA.617-576-1253. more |
||||
| The Hound of the Baskervilles — a Comedy | 7/22 – 8/22 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| I saw this Sherlock Holmes play last week and didn’t realize — it’s a comedy! It’s a hilarious parody of everyone’s favorite detective, with three actors playing about 12 roles. While there isn’t a very deep mystery to solve, the comedy and staging and accents are laugh-out-loud funny and this is HIGHLY recommended! 450 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA. more |
||||
| Cirque du Soleil | 7/21 – 8/29 | Boston Metro | ||
| I’ve also been to see Cirque du Soleil, and found this production much more accessible than the last one. The performers all pretend to be insects and you’ll find juggling, acrobatics, and clowns. About a third of the acts are mindblowing, which is more than enough to make the show! Big Top at Fan Pier, Boston, MA. more |
||||
| Fully Committed | 7/22 – 8/15 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| From what I’ve seen, there is no equal in outdoor theatre this summer. It’s a comedy where one man plays 37 roles while trying to answer non-stop phone calls at the reservation desk at a fancy retaurant. Publick Theatre, Boston, MA. more |
||||
| Captured – The Journey Show | 8/14 | Boston Metro | ||
| If you’re a fan of Journey, this is the tribute band to see. Regent Theatre, Arlington, MA. more |
