Things To Do in Boston This Weekend: February 20 – February 22

Boston's late-winter calendar delivers big flavors, big laughs, and inventive live experiences. From Dine Out Boston turning the city into a prix fixe playground to Jo Koy: Just Being Koy Tour and the genre-blending magic of Candlelight: 90s Hip-Hop on Strings, this lineup balances indulgence, humor, and creativity with high-energy concerts to keep the momentum going.

Dine Out Boston returns this year with more than 175 participating restaurants, offering special pricing on their menus. For three weeks, Boston's food scene features wonderfully put-together meals at a wide range of price points. Visit Atlantic Fish Co. for some of the freshest seafood you will ever have, Mamma Maria for authentic Italian food, or Grill 23 & Bar for a high-end steakhouse experience. Presented by Meet Boston, this biannual celebration offers a delicious way to sample the city's best flavors in one unforgettable season.

Jo Koy is a comedy force right now, having gone from nothing to being one of the biggest names in comedy on the planet. In addition to winning “Standup Comedian of the Year,” he has released numerous successful comedy albums, produced several specials on Netflix and Comedy Central, and established himself as one of the top ten performers over the past twenty-five years. By seamlessly combining personal stories with cultural humor and with his ability to create relatable comedy, he is creating a legacy that will last for generations.

Fever's Candlelight: 90s Hip-Hop on Strings reimagines classic '90s rap and hip-hop through elegant, string-quartet arrangements. Candlelight creates an iconic atmosphere, where songs by Jay-Z, OutKast, Wu-Tang Clan, and 2Pac are reimagined as chamber music. This process bridges different types of music and eras. It's a unique concert experience blending nostalgia, live performance, and an evocative atmosphere for fans of both hip-hop and instrumental music.

From cage-fighting intensity and family-friendly magic to a pulse-pounding rock show, Boston brings bold entertainment and big reactions to the spotlight.

Weeknights get a serious glow-up with shows that turn ordinary evenings into standout moments. These picks bring just the right spark to break the weekday routine and keep the energy buzzing all week long.
