Ed Sheeran, Fireworks, Tori Amos: 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.

The weekend will feature swarms of people heading to Foxborough via car or special event MBTA train to catch one of two Ed Sheeran shows scheduled at Gillette Stadium. Sheeran, with support from Khalid and Rosa Linn, will play Gillette on Friday and Saturday with shows beginning at 6 p.m.

A number of communities will also be getting ahead of Tuesday's July 4 holiday with fireworks displays, parades and other events scheduled for this weekend.
