This weekend in Lowell, MA

This gathering at Chelmsford Town Common offers a chance to meet a few adoptable dogs and get information about adoption, fostering, and volunteer opportunities with Ruff Tales Rescue.

Enjoy an afternoon of live blues with the Riverside Blues Band in a laid back, daytime setting. The kitchen and bar will be open, so you can pair the music with lunch or a drink. Everyone is welcome and there is no cover charge. A simple, easygoing hang with blues as the soundtrack.

Spend about an hour and a half to just under two hours exploring Lowell’s historic district on foot, featuring accounts grounded in documentation, reported encounters, and local history. Group sizes are kept small. Tours are offered on weekends, and reserving in advance is recommended.

Four on the Floor brings a high energy show to Princeton Station with favorite hits from across the decades. The band keeps the dance floor moving throughout the night.

LP&CT Run for Nature is a community run that supports greater access to the outdoors and environmental education in Lowell. Participants can choose a one-mile fun run or walk for children 12 and under, a 5K run or walk, or a 10K run. Bib pick-up is provided. Walking is available for the 5K only. The event welcomes runners, walkers, and families with options for a range of ages and abilities.

Spend 60 minutes easing tension and quieting a busy mind. This guided session focuses on resetting the nervous system without vigorous movement, complex techniques, or any need for prior experience. You will move gently with options to use a chair or the floor, practice straightforward breathing to settle the body, and finish with a restorative period of deep rest. It differs from a standard yoga class. No performance expectations, simply space to slow down and feel more at ease. It suits anyone feeling stressed, anxious, or burned out, those who have tried yoga or meditation and found it overwhelming, or anyone who wants an hour to breathe and reset. The fee is $15 for non members, with a 10 percent discount for members. The group is small and spots are limited.

Watch the Patriots take on the Jaguars at Keltic Club during a dedicated viewing party. Complimentary food will be available throughout the game, and guests wearing a Patriots shirt can qualify for a promotion.
