We're finally here! It's the last weekend before Thanksgiving break, and we know all of our Terriers are in need of some well-deserved R & R. In the meantime, this Weekender is stacked with some best-of fall activities to soak up the autumnal vibes before the "official" start of the holiday season in Boston.

ArtsThursdays: Celebrating Native American Craft Brewers

In 2016, Shyla Sheppard and Missy Begay became the first Native American women in the United States to start a brewery. That same year, Liz Garibay created the Beer Culture Center, which explores the connection between beer and humanity. ArtsThursdays at the Harvard Museum of Natural History is bringing these two organizations together for conversation, activities-and beer.

Thursday, November 21, 5 to 9 pm, Harvard Museum of Natural History, 26 Oxford St., Cambridge. The event is 21-plus, with a cash bar available. Admission is free, but RSVP is encouraged.

Dance Theatre Group's Origins

A long-standing tradition from the Dance Theatre Group, BU's oldest and largest campus dance group, Origins features a variety of performances choreographed by fellow Terriers. Come support your friends in the group at this year's show and enjoy pieces that range from lighthearted to contemplative to thematic to abstract.

Friday, November 22, 8 pm, and Saturday, November 23, 3:30 and 8 pm, BU Dance Theater, 915 Commonwealth Ave. BU student tickets (with valid ID) are $12. Non-BU students, youth, and senior tickets are $15, and general admission is $20. Get tickets here.

"The Game": Harvard vs. Yale Football

A centuries-old tradition of elite college sport, "The Game" celebrates the Ivy League's biggest rivalry: Harvard University vs. Yale University. Every November, the Crimson and the Bulldogs square off in front of students, alumni, and hundreds of New England football fans. This year marks the 140th match, which will be played minutes from the Charles River Campus, so hop into the stands and support your local favorites.

Saturday, November 23, noon, Harvard Stadium, 76 N. Harvard St., Allston. Tickets, from $125, are available on StubHub.

Boston Cocktail Challenge

Sample handcrafted cocktails from a variety of vendors and don't forget to vote for your favorite. Watch expert mixology and dazzling flairtending while you sample drinks, groove to a live DJ, and munch on snacks-and after, take home free swag.

Saturday, November 23, 1, 3:30, and 6 pm, at Time Out Market, 401 Park Drive, Boston. Tickets begin at $29; purchase here.

Learn to Curl

It's becoming everyone's favorite winter Olympic sport-and the next gold medalist could be you! Learn to Curl is a free pop-up at the popular Snowport market in Seaport that's dedicated to one of winter's most fascinating sports. Play real games with no experience required at Snowport's iceless lanes and win bragging rights.

Saturdays from November 23 to February 22, 2 to 4 pm, Snowport Winter Village, 65 Northern Ave., Boston.

For Terriers staying on campus for next weekend:

BU Dining will be hosting a Thanksgiving meal on Thursday, November 28, from 5 to 8 pm in Marciano Commons. All BU students are welcome to attend-no meal plan required-and non-BU folks may join with purchase of a $21 ticket, or a guest pass in any meal plan.

Register and learn more here. Registration closes Monday, November 25.
