Boston Playoff Action, M83, Cupcakke: MA Weekend Events Roundup
The Celtics and Bruins are in the playoffs and Massachusetts residents plan to head outdoors for annual Earth Day events. What to know.

MASSACHUSETTS — It isn't so much a question of what there is to do in the Boston area, but rather, what should locals do?
Patch is rolling out a new weekly feature that will round up plenty of highlight-worthy events across the city and surrounding areas, and compile them into one, easy-to-follow list.
Highlighting this weekend's events are a number of concerts on all three nights this weekend, including Cupcakke at the Paradise Rock Club on Friday.

It's also worth noting that two of Boston's major sports teams are in the playoffs with games scheduled for this weekend.
The Celtics square off with the Hawks on Friday and Sunday at 7 p.m. Atlanta will host games three and four, so many bars and restaurants across New England will show the game.
