Top 5 Things To Do This Weekend

Here are Patch's picks for this weekend.

More fireworks and plenty of performing arts and exhibits to take in, check out Marblehead Patch's picks for the top 5 things to do this weekend.

Look - There will be fireworks over the harbor Saturday night to celebrate the marriage of  Peter Lynch's daughter Elizabeth to French count and lawyer Gonzaque Marie de Montrichard of Paris. Preparations can be seen from the tip of Marblehead Neck and include tenting and staging areas. Insiders have said it is expected to be quite the gala, similar to Lynch's first daughter's marriage two years ago. According to Harbormaster Charlie Dalferro, the family has permits for the fireworks and everything is ready to go. Best vantage points are Fort Sewall and Crocker Park.

Sing - Some of the area's most talented musicians will be singing in "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da" on Saturday night at the Unitarian Universalist Church. Tickets are available on the church Website: $20 adults, $10 student, $45 family package. Part of the proceeds from this concert go directly to a special fund to send musicians into local schools for workshops and concerts as well as to benefit programs at the church.  Contributions can also be made out to UUCM and sent directly to the church at 28 Mugford St., Marblehead, MA 01945.
