much fest
The fourth annual HarborArts Festival is back and about to generously satisfy all your local art, food, and music cravings. It’s right on the Boston Harbor, which is sure to inspire within you the immense desire to eat lobster rolls while strolling through local art exhibits and galleries. Plus, the soundtrack to the festival consists of local bands like Tigerman WOAH!, Divercity, and Boston’s own DJ and production duo Soul Clap. See you there.

HEARTBEAT
modern dance rock concert
Returning this fall for its third Cambridge run is George Woods’ mystical fusion of theatre, song, and dance, “Heartbeat: A Modern Dance Rock Concert.” It’s a dramatic love story and a lotta dancing set to live music from the George Woods Band’s new album fittingly entitled Heartbeat. It’s a temporary escape from reality, while perhaps simultaneously reminding you of the pangs of unforgettable love. But afterwards, there is a dance party so you won’t end the night crying over your ex.
