Pop Star, A-List Comedian Play TD Garden And 12 MA Events This Weekend

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, Katy Perry is set to play TD Garden on Friday, which comes with deals and specials from at least two area businesses.

Sugar Factory announced that, from Thursday to Saturday, the Boston location would offer 20 percent off the entire bill if patrons could show a concert ticket.

Scores, located steps away from the Garden, is hosting a pregame ahead of the concert with cocktails that take inspiration from Perry on the menu.

"If you tend to run Hot & Cold ($10), opt for an ice-old Narragansett Tall Boy paired with a shot Old Overholt rye. The Harleys in Hawaii ($15) is a tropical yet potent mix of Old Overholt rye, amaretto and Campari with pineapple and lime juices, while the Milk Milk Lemonade ($15) is a thirst-quenching Tito’s with iced tea and lemonade. For the Dark Horse in the house, there is a duet of options ($10 per glass) from the Dark Horse winey: cabernet and sauvignon blanch," Scores officials said, in a news release.
