Dan + Shay, Tough Ruck: MA Weekend Events

MASSACHUSETTS — It isn't so much a question of what there is to do in the Boston area and beyond, but rather, what should locals do?

Welcome to Patch's latest weekly roundup of highlight-worthy events across the city and surrounding areas. We've compiled them into one, easy-to-follow list, for your weekend planning.

It's the weekend before Marathon Monday in Boston, which means you'll be able to find plenty of deals on pasta around the city, but don't think there isn't fun to be had as well.

The country duo Dan + Shay are the biggest names to come through the area this weekend, playing at Boston's TD Garden.

But if the indie scene is more your speed, the bands Woods and Willis are also in the city playing show this weekend.

And that's just a taste of the weekend ahead. Here are the events to know:
