Jerry Seinfeld, John Mayer, Gucci Mane, Kim Petras: 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.

There's still plenty of Halloween spirit to go around this week, with Salem celebrating its residents on Friday amid the onslaught of seasonal tourism. (To help with the traffic, the MBTA is offering more trains to Salem.)

The Topsfield Fair is also still running through the weekend, and a fall fest is scheduled on Cape Cod.

When it comes to concerts there are some big names set to play Boston this weekend in Gucci Mane, Carly Pearce, John Mayer and Kim Petras. Additionally, Jerry Seinfeld stops by the Boch Center for a show on Saturday.

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