5 things to do this weekend, including a Thanksgiving harvest festival and a 'Wicked' trivia night

Around this time of year, it can be a good moment to contemplate gratitude and recognize things we’re thankful for. At the Peabody Essex Museum, a gathering will offer a space to remember victims of transphobia during a Transgender Day of Remembrance vigil. A “Wicked” trivia night at the Huntington Theatre may have teammates thinking about the power of friendship. A Thanksgiving Harvest Festival at Red Apple Farm will bring families together to enjoy games and fall foods. See our event picks for this weekend below.

The Peabody Essex Museum, together with the North Shore LGBTQ Network and NAGLY, will organize a Transgender Day of Remembrance vigil to honor members of the trans, nonbinary and gender nonconforming community whose lives have been lost to anti-trans violence and discrimination. During the ceremony, which runs from 7-9 p.m., there will be a reading of names, as well as an open mic where poems and stories can be shared. PEM will also host a related event the next day, “Queer Community Gathering: Kiki on the High Streets,” a free pirate-themed trivia night where costumes are encouraged (also 7-9 p.m.).

For Broadway buffs anticipating the premiere of the film “Wicked: For Good,” the Huntington Theatre and Trident Booksellers are offering an opportunity to test their knowledge of the musical. Participants will be asked to create teams of up to six people and compete, as they’re quizzed on all things “Wicked” and “The Wizard of Oz.” Winners could earn prizes such as tickets to a Huntington performance of their choice, a Trident Booksellers gift card, merchandise and other surprises. Tickets cost $16.50, and the games start at 7 p.m.

The Multiverse Concert Series, a nonprofit organization that explores the realm of science through the arts, brings an intriguing and eye-opening performance to the Museum of Science. Building on the concepts of how cells function in their worlds and participate in the body’s processes, choreographer Meg Anderson has created a dance production that also blends together visuals and electro-symphonic music in “Cellular Dance.” Composer David Ibbett and pianist William Hume have contributed to this “immersive ballet” that will awaken audience members’ curiosity about biology. Tickets cost $25, and the show begins at 7:30 p.m.

For three days at Watertown’s Mosesian Center for the Arts, Boston-based South Asian theater group Off-Kendrik is hosting a dramatic union of diverse immigrant voices. Ten plays in a variety of languages — English, Hindi, Marathi and Bengali —  will be performed. One of the works, “Dikchinhoheen (Directionless),” is a story by Sankha Bhowmick set during an intimate party, and another, “Court-Martial,” is a drama by Swadesh Deepak about the world of military justice. A three-day pass starts at $37, including a convenience fee.

Red Apple Farm in Phillipston welcomes families to join them at their grounds to celebrate fall and the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. During this festival, artisan vendors will sell locally sourced, handmade items that could be purchased as gifts. Fresh pies and hard cider will be available for purchase, and all are welcome to enjoy hayrides, live music and blacksmith demonstrations. In addition, an obstacle course, “The Iron Farmer,” challenges competitors to two miles of running or walking, along with completing “farmer-like” tasks, such as carrying apple crates and tossing haybales. (Registration for “The Iron Farmer” is $50.) To get in the spirit of giving, visitors can also bring canned goods or pantry items for a food drive, an act of charity that will earn them raffle tickets. Prizes include tickets to the farm’s Winter Lights festivities, wood from Central Mass Tree and a gift basket from Gardner Ale House.
