| Free tickets to Steampunk Exhibit | Fri 10/22 – Wed 5/11 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| I’ve just been to this steampunk exhibit and I had to hold back tears. It’s a beautiful demonstration of the dreams that industrialists had in the 19th century about the future, a future that we are living today! And it all takes place on the site of the oldest factory in the US, a 1814 textile mill. I have 4 tickets to give away. Email me at johnny@eventsinsider.com. Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation, Waltham, MA.781-893-5410. see details on the complete Events Insider |

|
| I have more tickets to Davis MegaMaze, the biggest and best corn field maze in New England! It’s great in the daytime, and then very spooky at night with actors dressed up jumping out at you. The tickets are good for daytime admission only (they also have fright nights after dark). I’ve just been and it’s a must see!

| Day of the Dead Festival at Forest Hills Cemetery | Tue 11/2 | Boston Metro |
 |
|
| The Day of the Dead festival is one of my favorite events of the year. It’s outdoors at night and forget candy skeletons. This is a serious and touching remembrance of the dead lead by a Mexican group that touches ancient traditions. And you can join in the singing, dancing, and interacting with the spirit world. Believe me when I say this: YOU MUST GO. 95 Forest Hills Avenue, Jamaica Plain, MA.617-524-0128. see details on the complete Events Insider |
