4. Play Lacrosse! F ramingham Youth Lacrosse is offering its first ever “fall ball. Boys practices at Fuller Middle and girls at Victory Field on Saturdays from 4 to 5:30 p.m. The free session, for new and returning players, is available to children with a valid US Lacrosse membership ($25 a year) Register at www.framinghamyouthlacrosse.org

5. Listen to Music From The Beatles! Tribute band AfterFab takes the stage at Amazing Things Arts Center tonight at 8.

The band performs music by members of The Beatles solo careers.

“AfterFab are not impersonators. It’s all about the music — classic songs, going beyond the greatest hits: you’ll hear deep tracks you won’t hear elsewhere, certainly not from other tribute band,” posted Amazing Things on its website.

Tickets start at $20, with discounts for students, seniors, and children.
