LL Cool J, Letters To Cleo And The Pharcyde: 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.

Some major legacy acts are planning to stop in Boston this weekend, led by LL Cool J. Others include Letters to Cleo and The Pharcyde.

But it isn't just legacy acts playing shows this weekend, with local favorites Deer Tick playing House of Blues while deadmau5, The Hotelier and Foxing all also playing Boston.

Plus, the holiday season is here, meaning tree lightings and Thanksgiving-themed events are upon us.

Here's what to know this weekend across the state:
