THIS WEEKEND

🇬🇷 Eat All the Greek Food

Today-Tomorrow (times/locations vary)

Boston’s going full gyro this weekend with not one, but two fests serving up authentic Greek fare and fun. Gyrofest in Somerville or Gyro Mini Fest in Roslindale? Why not both — bring your appetite!

🏉 Quincy Day

Tomorrow at Veterans Memorial Stadium (12PM) 

Quincy Day is coming in hot with a rugby showdown, Beer & Seltzer Fest, live music and more! Gates open at noon, the Free Jacks take the field at 4pm, and the celebration keeps rolling all night.

🎉 Joy Party

Tomorrow at Magazine Beach (1PM)

Ditch the mainstream dance-off for Saturday’s Joy Party. Grab your friends and spend the day celebrating women in underground house music.

🍳 Boss Babes Brunch Club

Sunday in Davis Square (10AM)

Who says brunch can’t be a power move? Boss Babes Brunch is hitting Davis Square this weekend for an afternoon of good eats with a side of networking.
