5 things to do this weekend, including Films at the Gate and tango in the park

Are you feeling any late summer restlessness? Lately, I’ve found myself feeling like I’m waiting for something to happen as the summer winds down. To fill my time, I’ve been trying out new hobbies and taking a few workshops. If you’re feeling like me, stop by the Condon Shell in Medford for a free tango lesson — no partner necessary. This week, we’ve got movies, dancing, walking tours and more to keep you busy through this transitional month.

Cyrus Dallin is one of the United States' most celebrated sculptors, and although he was from Utah, he trained in his art form in Boston. He created more than 260 sculptures over the span of his lifetime, and many of them are in Arlington, where he raised his family. On Thursday, you can learn the history of his world created for Arlington in a walking tour hosted by the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum. The tour will begin at 6 p.m.

This weekend, the Asian Community Development Corporation and the Chinatown community are coming together to highlight films from across the Asian diaspora. Visit the Chinatown movie theaters for a weekend of dramas, documentaries and more. Each day of the festival, there will be a feature film, games and activities for families, a live performance and two short films. The documentary “Kung Fu Stuntmen,” which features the stories of some of the best Chinese Kung Fu masters living, will kick off the festival on Friday. All programming for the festival is free and open to everyone.

All summer long, the dance organization Ultimate Tango has been hosting free tango lessons in Veteran’s Memorial Park. If you’ve been wanting to learn, this is your last chance to try out this workshop. The final weekend will begin with a group dance, followed by a performance of Argentine Tango by the Ultimate Tango teachers and ends with a free lesson. This class is open to beginners, and no partner is necessary.

Celebrate the art and culture of the African diaspora this weekend at the African Festival of Boston on Boston Common. This event has a little something for everyone, from a drum call parade to face painting and a fashion show from African artists. A place for local and international artists to engage with the community, this is a special festival not to be missed. The African Festival of Boston is free and open to the public.

On Sunday, the Elliot School in Jamaica Plain will host a free concert by Trio Let’s Vamos. The group is a Brazilian American group of musicians who will play Forró Pé-de-Serra, a genre that formed on the farms and plantations of Northeast Brazil. The rhythms are inspired by farmhands who would herd cows and gather coffee and vegetables. Trio Let's Vamos’ music includes a mix of regional sounds, including baião, xaxado and samba. The show begins at 4 p.m., and visitors are encouraged to bring their own seats and blankets.
