This just in! I track 1600 events a year but sometimes I miss one, or they don’t post any information until too late in the week. This week I missed a bunch! Here they are, just for you.
This is a shout out to anyone from today’s NEFA / Boston Art Commission outreach I handed my card to.

| Flea Market and Pancake Breakfast | Feb 7 | Boston Metro | |
| Lots of used stuff. And pancakes! I’m only listing this because I don’t think I’ve *ever* listed a flea market before. And it’s winter. And I like pancakes! And I really wanna go! Pierce School 85 Park Ave. Ext., Arlington, MA. more |

| USS Constitution 30th Annual Ship Model Show | Feb 4 – Mar 7 | Boston Metro | |
| It’s a show by local model ship builders! It’s a month long which probably indicates no actual “festival” or social gathering. But may be worth a look. USS Constitution Museum, Charlestown Navy Yard, Building 22, Charlestown, MA.617-242-5670. more |
