Red Bull Cliff Diving, Mark Normand, Isaiah Rashad: 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.

This weekend is packed with big names and, hopefully, little splashes into the Boston Harbor.
