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.
This week was crazy. It started with the New England Patriots winning their sixth Super Bowl, but then led to some nasty fights in the North End. What seemed like groups of men not from the North End brawled on Salem Street. The cause of the fight is yet to be known. Hopefully North Enders have a more relaxing and peaceful time this weekend.
