A bit farther afield, but also happening on Saturday is the Boston Festival of Indie Games at MIT. We greatly enjoyed this event last year and are looking forward to going again.

Thanks. I've added this, with the stipulation that admission is charged (unlike most of the other listed events which are free)

The Somerville Dog Fest is Sunday from 10 to 3 at Trum Field. Tons of activities for your dog and you, including try-it rings and demos, contests, food trucks, vending, and more. Come by 1:00 and help break the world record for most dogs getting their teeth brushed. Proceeds benefit Somerville Foundation for Animals.

September 11, 2015 Vigil / Memorial
The City of Somerville invites all community members to join in the annual 9/11 Vigil Walk to honor those who lost their lives in the attacks on the World Trade Centers, the Pentagon, and on Flight 93 in 2001.
The walk will step off from the Cedar St. end of the Community Path at 6 p.m. on Fri., Sept. 11, and end with a brief ceremony in Davis Sq.

You're welcome. I'll keep adding to it as I learn of more events. This is a crazy busy weekend coming up.

The Ryan Harrinington Foundation is holding their annual corn toss tournament this Saturday 12th at Trum Field starting at 9:30am.

It's not the weekend but I saw on Facebook that Somerville Overcoming Addiction is having their second annual vigil at Somerville high this coming Tuesday the 15th not 100% sure of the time but I believe it said 6:15.

I'm hoping to get to that dog festival. I love that they're looking to break a record!

Do you have links for these two events? Thanks.

I'm on my phone so I can't do the insert link. Every time I open a new tab to crab a link and come back to paste it, the whole page reloads.

I added the Ryan Harrington event, but not the Tuesday event (since it's after the weekend). Feel free to make your own post about the Tuesday event if you wish.
