This weekend in Holyoke, MA

Presented by MILLTOWN at Pulaski Park, this long-running rumble brings together 1972 and earlier rods, kustoms, vans, bikes, stockers, race cars, and hot rods. Live bands perform throughout the day, and the grounds feature beer, booze, food, and vendors. The gathering began in Worcester, Massachusetts, and has spent the last five years at its current Pulaski Park location, marking the seventeenth edition overall.

Now in its 14th year, Run Stanley welcomes participants of all ages and abilities with a mix of activities for people and pups.

The school with the highest Munchkin Run turnout earns the Stanley Cup School Spirit Trophy. Proceeds support the care and upkeep of the Frank Stanley Beveridge Wildlife Sanctuary, Stanley Park, and its accessible pathways. Race day begins with late registration and T shirt and bib pickup at the Children’s Pavilion, followed by a kids warmup, the Munchkin Run, the K9 5K, the Stroll and Roll, and the 5K run or walk. The event brings together runners, walkers, hikers, dog owners, and nature lovers who care about Stanley Park.

Canal Street Irish Trio returns to The Big E at The Eastern States Exposition with a performance at the Irish Dingle Peninsula Showcase. Matt, Derek, and Ivan share lively tunes and timeless songs, bringing a touch of Ireland to New England and creating a warm, reunion-like atmosphere for both longtime followers and first-time listeners.

Brooklyn songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tōth, the solo project of Alex Toth of Rubblebucket, offers a performance at The Drake in Amherst, MA that feels like a shared gathering, open and inclusive. His songs carry deep emotion with a thread of humor, and he is captivating onstage, mixing spontaneous, playful banter with soulful, expressive trumpet work. His third album, And The Voice Said, made with Grammy-nominated collaborator Caroline Rose and featuring Kimbra, finds him at a creative high as both singer and visionary artist. Also performing is Sean Nicholas Savage.
