Meet Me @ The Altar, Chris Redd Play Boston: 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.

In Framingham, the rising golf brand PXG will host a Hometown Heroes event, in which police and fire departments from Framingham, Worcester, Sudbury, Billerica and more will go head-to-head in golf competitions.

The event is scheduled from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Framingham store, and entry fees for the competitions will be donated to support Cops for Kids with Cancer and the Local 1652 Scholarship Fund.
