Golden Gloves - Top-Central New England Preliminaries
2025-01-09 19:30 - 22:00, 2025-01-16 19:30 - 22:00, 2025-01-23 19:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Lowell Memorial Auditorium, 50 E Merrimack St, Lowell, MA, 01852, United States
Lowell Sun Charities is proud to present the 78th Annual Golden Gloves at Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Thursdays from January 9 – March 6. Don’t miss a moment of one of the longest-standing New England sports traditions, as the best amateur boxers from the area battle it out across the weeks to see who will be crowned champion. Thursday Night is Fight Night at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium!
Every year in the Golden Gloves they’re a new flock of boxers trying to work their way up from the bottom in hopes of advancing their way to top of the competition. The Gloves has been a tradition in New England since 1947 and sells out the Lowell Memorial Auditorium every year. “It’s only there to give kids a way out of a lifestyle and to promote the sport of boxing along with good health, good training, exercise and confidence.”
When you win the Golden Gloves, you don’t get paid, you get the respect of your community; that’s very important to a young kid, as it gives them confidence to build their life upon.
Lowell, Massachusetts has a great tradition of boxing dating back 74 years ago. When you go to a Golden Gloves show in Lowell, you know that it is unlike other boxing shows or any other sporting event in general. There is electricity in the air, fans get a certain charge when they watch these fighters give every ounce of themselves for something that can’t be seen or touched.
This yearly event to the combatants is that, it’s not about prizes; it’s about pride. Many of the fighters who range in age from 18-40, are not even on a path to the pros or even the Olympics — they are simply there to say they fought in the Golden Gloves.

Pole Capping Day - Patriots Day Reenactment of a Colonial Protest in Bedford
2025-04-12 10:00 - 12:00 | Bedford Town Common -75 Great Road, 75 Great Road, Bedford, MA, 01730, United States
The Opening battles of the American Revolution took place in Lexington in Concord on April 19th, 1775. This is the 250th anniversary of this monumental event. Before any shots were fired, so many events led up to the actual conflict to start the revolution. Cities and towns across New England were gearing up for what was to come.
One act of defiance, (which dates back to Roman times), was to place a red cap on a pole. This simple act of Pole Capping was a provocative move.
One tradition in Bedford that started back in 1965 was reenacting this show of defiance with their annual Pole Capping event. Reenactors in colonial costumes for both the Colonists as well the Red Coats march from the Bedford Common to Willson Park march to defy the British and climb a pole to lodge their grievances.
Minuteman reenactors from throughout the region come to Bedford to participate in this event that is kicked off with a festive parade from the Town Common.
Pole Capping Day is considered the start of the Patriots Day celebration in the region. Along with the event there is the traditional Pancake breakfast and other activities. While you’re here, you can also visit the Bedford Historical Society’s exhibit on its opening day:
The Bedford Historical Society will also open their exhibit, “Bedford Answers the Call.”
Bedford Town responded to the urgent alarm spread through Eastern Massachusetts on the night of April 18, 1775. They were one of the five towns involved in the exchange of fire at the North Bridge. To commemorate the 250 th anniversary of that day, the Bedford Historical Society is mounting an exhibition entitled “Bedford Answers the Call.” It will open on Pole Capping Day, April 12, 2025, and remain until January, 2026, highlighting Bedford’s participation in the first moments of the American Revolution. Visit the Bedford Historical Society at 16 South Road, rear door. Call for hours at 781-275-7276.
The exhibition is free.

The sixth annual edition of The Town and the City Festival takes place in event spaces, bars, cafes, and galleries throughout downtown Lowell, Massachusetts. The festival celebrates the spirit of Jack Kerouac in direct and indirect ways. It is named after Kerouac’s earliest novel which was primarily set in this historic mill city. The Town and The City Festival is inspired by the creativity and exploration for which the author was so famously known and presents a diverse mix of musical genres and artistic disciplines to inspire discovery and to celebrate a love of life.
Nine acts have been added to the line-up including Hannah Connolly as well as New England- based artists, The Evolutionists, Elsa Kennedy, Barefoot Young, Joanne the Band, Bobbo Byrnes, The Infinite Wet Secret, Kingshot, Main Era, and Wildfeuer.
“We’ve got a very diverse line-up of musical acts this year,” said Festival founder Chris Porter. “It’s always been a point of emphasis that the Festival showcase New England based talent alongside national acts, and we’re proud that more than half of this year’s artists are home-grown.”
Taking the stage at Taffeta on Thursday for the kick-off concert featuring three Indie Rock acts are Lady Lamb, Ezra Furman, and Class President
Things get into full swing on Friday with eight shows spread across downtown Lowell.
