Welcome to A Weekend in Boston, a weekly post about events occurring over the upcoming weekend throughout all of Boston. For events coming up in the North End, see the event calendar. For more information on each event, click on the event title.
The snow has fallen, the sidewalks have been cleared (maybe), and the storm wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been. We made it! This coming weekend will warm up ever so slightly, especially on Sunday, so be sure to enjoy being outside before a huge winter storm comes around. For now, let’s see what’s going on this weekend in Boston.
Friday, January 25
The Office Trivia at The Green Briar

Saturday, January 26
Cory Wong at The Brighton Music Hall
Cory Wong will be performing at the Brighton Music Hall on January 26th. Known for his intense wrist flicking when playing guitar, he’s played on multiple Vulfpeck records and has also released solo music. The band Vulfpeck liked him so much, they named a song after him! The show is sold-out, but if you’re able to find a ticket, this show is definitely worth seeing for his guitar playing alone!
When: January 26 at 8 p.m.
Where: Brighton Music Hall – 158 Brighton Ave, Allston, MA.
Price: 20+
Age Restriction: 18+
