November 14 to 17
Crisp temperatures and gusty breezes mean it's truly, finally, sweater weather. Stay warm this weekend by exploring the city's indoor offerings, from a BU women's hockey game to a folk dance show to a queer film festival. Finally, bundle up and get an early start on your shopping at the Holiday Market at Snowport.
BU Women's Hockey vs. Boston College
Head to Agganis Arena this Friday to watch BU women's ice hockey battle an age-old rival, Boston College. Fresh off last week's shoot-out win against Merrimack College, the Terriers currently hold the top spot in Hockey East standings, and remain undefeated at Agganis Arena. BU will then head down Comm Ave to play BC on its own turf Saturday, November 16, at 4:30 pm.
Friday, November 15, 6 pm, Agganis Arena, 925 Commonwealth Ave., Boston. Purchase tickets, starting at $5, here.
Wicked Queer: Docs
A supplement to Boston's Wicked Queer, North America's fourth longest running LGBTQ+ film festival, Wicked Queer: Docs celebrates queer culture through a series of documentaries shown locally. With this festival, Wicked Queer builds on its mission to celebrate queer storytelling and filmmaking and preserve the vibrancy of the LGBTQIA+ community. Films will screen all around the Boston area-from the Museum of Fine Arts to Cambridge's Brattle Theatre-and will include George Michael: Portrait of an Artist; Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story; Pumping Iron II: The Women, and more real-life stories from the queer community.
Friday, November 15, through Friday, November 22, at various venues in the Boston area. Find the festival calendar here. Tickets range from $10 to $15 and can be purchased in person or on the Wicked Queer website.
The Holiday Market at Snowport
Though it may be a while before (if?) we feel the chill of a true Boston winter, Seaport's Holiday Market at Snowport is ushering in the holiday spirit with a variety of live music and over 100 vendors serving up specialty foods, seasonal drinks, and handmade crafts, perfect for gifting season. You can also check out some of Snowport's special events this season, which include ice curling lessons and the annual ship lighting at Martin's Park. Before you know it, this popular festival will draw lines down the block, so make sure you get to Snowport early in the season to get your taste of Christmas cheer.
Open seven days a week through December 29, 100 Seaport Blvd., Boston. Entry to the market is free. Find hours here.
Mavi Dance: Rhythms of Cultures
Local Boston dance troupe Mavi Dance is performing Rhythms of Cultures, a gala featuring dances from Turkey, Georgia, and Spain, at BU's FitRec. The troupe, which offers a wide variety of dance classes all around Boston, was founded by Turkish immigrant H. Pinar Zengingonul in 2002 and performs a variety of folk dance styles, including Irish, Georgian, and Russian. Audiences can expect contemporary interpretations of ancient dance traditions, from performers of all ages.
Sunday, November 17, 3 to 5 pm, BU Fitness and Recreation Center, 915 Commonwealth Ave., Boston. Purchase tickets, $21.40 for children and $26.50 for adults, here.
New England Conservatory Festival
This weekend marks the last few days of the New England Conservatory Festival, which this year pays homage to the visionary, yet often overlooked, American composers Charles Ives (1874-1954) and Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953). The festival includes a series of concerts, presentations, panel discussions, and unique opportunities to experience the talent of the students and faculty at the New England Conservatory, one of America's most well-regarded music schools. You won't want to miss the festival's centerpiece, a four-night run of the modern chamber opera Later the Same Evening, about figures from five Edward Hopper paintings coming to life.
Through Sunday, November 17, New England Conservatory, 290 Huntington Ave., Boston. Find the festival calendar and event locations here. Tickets to events range from free to $20.
