5 Things To Do This Weekend, From Caribbean Food To Parliament Funkadelic
Here's what not to miss this weekend:
Taste of the Caribbean Food Festival | Saturday, Aug. 4 | Hibernian Hall, Boston
You really can't go wrong with family-friendly events based around food — in this case, the flavors and traditions of the Caribbean. Plus: live music and entertainment. Kids under 10 get in free.
Gregory Groover Negro Spiritual Project | Sunday, Aug. 5 | Highland Park, Roxbury
Boston-born-and-bred saxophonist Gregory Groover takes a jazz-inflected dive into a rich tradition of African-American spirituals and hymns at Berklee’s free annual Jazz at the Fort.
'Resistant Currents' | Through Sept. 23 | Boston Center for the Arts
Poignant, imaginative and striking, the work in "Resistant Currents" explores the politics of human migration, often through a personal lens. (Here's a closer look at the exhibition from The ARTery's Pamela Reynolds.)
Woods Hole Film Festival | Through Saturday, Aug. 4 | Woods Hole, Cape Cod
Now in its 27th year, the Woods Hole Film Festival brims with abundance. Standouts this weekend include HBO’s “Say Her Name: The Life and Death of Sandra Bland” and “Rodents of Unusual Size,” a documentary about a rural Louisiana community’s battle against the giant rodents that have overtaken the wetlands. (Here's a look at some of the standouts to see this year.)
George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic | Saturday, Aug. 4 | The Cabot, Beverly
The pioneering funk musician announced that he would retire from touring life next year, at the age of 77. So this may be your last chance to catch a legend in the flesh.
