Things to Do in Boston in November
November opens loud: Vince Staples plays Roadrunner on the 1st, Black Violin are at The Wilbur on the 3rd, and Deerhoof play the Crystal Ballroom in Somerville on the 6th.
The holiday season starts early here. Snowport opens in the Seaport on November 6, and the Copley Square tree lighting is the 30th. More is on the holiday events page.
Venues post their calendars a few weeks out, so the second half of the month fills in as it gets closer. We add shows as we confirm them; weekly trivia and karaoke are on their own pages.
