Here for the snacks. We realize it’s a complete bummer that the Pats aren’t playing in the Super Bowl again (not even close) but that doesn’t mean we won’t watch it! Here are some neighborhood businesses that can help make your Super Bowl watching more super-terrific! Check out our roundup here!
BCC Open Rehearsals
Boston Children’s Chorus (BCC) is hosting open rehearsals in Dorchester this Saturday, February 8 at First Parish Church from 10:15am-11:30am.

Students and families will get to experience the dynamic environment that has shaped young artists, building confidence, artistry, and empathy. In the midst of their 22nd season, which explores the theme “People, Get Ready,” inspired by civil rights leaders Malcom X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., this rehearsal will showcase how BCC engages with its young singers through Boston’s history of civic engagement, helping students grow their voice as singers and future leaders in social change.
