Things To Do in Boston This Weekend: May 8-May 10

From a record-breaking comedy arena tour to a field of 120,000 blooming tulips, this weekend offers something for everyone across Greater Boston. Shane Gillis brings his live tour to TD Garden for three nights, Cider Hill Farm wraps up its annual Tulip Fest, and a candlelit concert at Old South Church sets the mood for a spring evening out. Toss in a Red Sox home series and the weekend practically plans itself.

Shane Gillis brings his record-breaking Shane Gillis Live tour to TD Garden as part of an expanded arena run following a 45-plus-city global stretch. Gillis is a comedian and actor from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and fans may remember his 2021 special "Shane Gillis: Live in Austin" and his 2023 Netflix follow-up, "Beautiful Dogs," which reached the Netflix Top 10 in five countries.

Cider Hill Farm hosts the final weekend of its sixth annual Tulip Fest, featuring 120,000 blooming tulips available for cutting. The festival includes live music, cider tastings, a local makers market, hayrides, orchard walks, and food trucks. Festival grounds are free to all visitors, but you'll need tickets for the tulip field.

Candlelight: Coldplay & Imagine Dragons feature in this intimate concert series at the Sanctuary at Old South Church in Boston, with performances of both bands' music under candlelight. Presented by the Beacon Street Quartet, the 60-minute show includes 14 songs, such as "Fix You," "Viva la Vida," "Believer," and "Radioactive." Doors open 45 minutes before showtime, with no late entry permitted. The venue complies with the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and attendees must be at least 8 years old.

The weekend has many reasons to get out and explore Boston. Whether you're cheering on the home team, dancing to reggae, or experiencing something unlike anything else on stage, there's something for just about everyone.

Forget waiting for the weekend, Boston's weeknight lineup has plenty to see and do. From symphony halls to intimate comedy clubs, there's no shortage of reasons to venture out after dark this week.
