Open House - The Inn at Hastings Park

Need a ride from Boston?
Our friends at Visit Lexington are sending the Liberty Ride Trolley to do a special pick-up at the Boston Common Visitors Center and shuttle up to thirty people to the Inn at Hastings Park. Be at the Boston Common Visitors Center between 3:45-4:00 to secure your ride! At the end of the event, it will do a drop-off at the Boston Common Visitors Center.
During the open house, there will be a brief presentation by Local IQ whose goal is to be essential to consumers and marketers seeking meaningful connections with their communities.

ABOUT THE INN AT HASTINGS PARK
The history of our Relais & Chateaux property, Inn at Hastings Park, is entwined with that of Lexington, the Birthplace of American Liberty. Many landmarks are within footsteps of The Inn. Visitors can walk the path that Paul Revere and William Dawes followed on their Midnight Ride to the nearby house where John Hancock and Sam Adams bunked down. The Battle Green, where the Shot Heard Round the World started the first battle of the Revolution, is a short walk from The Inn. Just further down the road, The Munroe Tavern, which the British Redcoats took over on their retreat back to Boston—and where George Washington once dined—is worth a visit.
The Kennealy’s – Trisha, Mike and their three children – have lived and breathed every stage of the development of The Inn—and a lot of time, energy and love go into building an inn! Without the enthusiastic endorsement of the entire family, this dream to extend their hospitality to more than their circle of family, friends, and community would never have come to fruition. The Kennealy Family together with the Inn at Hastings Park team’s hard work has led the property to attain the prestigious Forbes 4 Star rating in 2022 for the first time since their opening.
Come and visit The Inn at Hastings Park for their exciting Summer programing:

Overnight Luxury accommodations with new exciting package offerings
The Culinary Garden featuring Whispering Angel is now open for the season!
Breakfast available 7 days a week
Supper Club Series on June 15th, July 20th, August 17th and September 21st

Gaelic Storm
2022-06-24 19:30 - 21:30 | 115 Merrimack Street, Lowell, MA, 01852, United States
This multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and as you can imagine, after two decades and over 2000 shows, it is a true force to be reckoned with. With their latest release, Go Climb a Tree, their music has never sounded more representative of themselves as musicians and as live performers.
The band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it’s a well-diversified crowd for sure. The country-music folks adore the storytelling, the bluegrass-heads love the instrumentals, Celtic fans love their devotion to tradition, and the rockers simply relish the passion they play their instruments with. Each band member, in their own way, expresses a deep gratitude for their fans, but it’s best summed up in the words of Patrick Murphy: “The fans are the ones that have given us this life. We’re here for them.”
On Go Climb a Tree, co-founders of Gaelic Storm, Steve Twigger and Patrick Murphy, along with longtime friend and co-writer Steve Wehmever, are again at the helm of song-writing duties. The album has everything—party drinking songs (“The Beer Song”), patriotic anthems (“Green, White and Orange”), beautiful folk songs (“Monday Morning Girl”), spritely instrumentals “”The Night of Tomfoolery”), perfectly poppy songs (“Shine On”), and even a raucous pirate song (“Shanghai Kelly”). When speaking of the overall concept of the album, Patrick Murphy gives some insight: “With all the craziness and division in the world, we wanted to make an album about ‘contemplative escapism.’ Go Climb a Tree certainly isn’t about dropping out of the conversation, it’s just about taking a short hiatus to recharge the batteries before you take on the world again.”
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Gaelic Storm, originally scheduled for Saturday, June 20, 2020 at 7:30pm, has been rescheduled for the 2022 Season, and will now take place on Friday, June 24, 2022 at 7:30pm at Boarding House Park. All tickets for the original show date will be honored for the new performance date. If you bought a ticket online, you will be emailed your ticket 4 days prior to the rescheduled concert. No action is required. If you have a physical ticket, that ticket will be honored at the new concert date. If you are unable to attend the new show date, please consider donating the value of your ticket purchase. As a non-profit music series, your donation to Lowell Summer Music Series is a tax-deductible. By making a donation, you are helping us to provide our community with quality entertainment in the months and years to come. For ticket holders unable to end the rescheduled date, full refunds are also available. Given the volume of refunds and delayed credit card processing times, it may take several weeks for the refund to post to your credit card statement. Refunds for rescheduled shows will be available until June 30, 2021.
Premium Seats are available in the first several rows for each show. Go to the seat map on the ticketing page for each show to see the actual layout. We have reduced each row from 16 seats to 12 seats so we can provide increased space between patrons. Seats 13 to 16 on the seat maps for each show have been deleted to allow for this additional space. Seats 1 through 12 are available for sale.

Jesse Cook
2022-06-24 20:00 - 22:00 | MA
A career spanning twenty-five years has brought this Canadian guitarist multiple accolades including a coveted Acoustic Guitar Magazine ‘Player’s Choice Silver Award’, eleven Juno Award nominations (he won for 2001’s ‘Free Fall’), a Gemini Award and, most impressively, ten platinum and gold studio albums.
Moreover, he has sold out concert halls the world over, produced five PBS television specials and five live CD’s. Not a bad legacy for a guy who never planned to release an album. Since launching his career with 1995’s Tempest, Cook has blazed an incredible trail. Along with being a global-guitar virtuoso, he’s honed his skills as a composer, producer, arranger, performer and, more recently, filmmaker and cultural ambassador.

Béla Fleck - My Bluegrass Heart
2022-07-16 19:30 - 21:30 | 115 Merrimack Street, Lowell, MA, 01852, United States
“They nearly always come back,” said BÉLA FLECK. “All the people that leave bluegrass. I had a strong feeling that I’d be coming back as well.”
My Bluegrass Heart, out September 10, 2021 on Renew Records, is that return the 15-time Grammy winner is talking about – the third chapter in a decades-spanning trilogy which, by his counting, started with 1988’s Drive and continued with The Bluegrass Sessions, released eleven years later. Over the long and lauded course of his unique creative run, Fleck – the world’s premier banjo virtuoso and a celebrated musical adventurer – has both dug deep into his instrument’s complex global history and unlocked the breadth of its possibilities. My Bluegrass Heart is a homecoming in sound, to be sure.

Open House - Lord Hobo Brewing Company
2022-07-28 16:30 - 18:30 | Lord Hobo, 5 Draper Street, Woburn, MA, 01801, United States
Join us and come see Lord Hobo Brewing Company

About this event

Please plan to join us for our July 28th Open House from 4:30 – 6:30 at Lord Hobo Brewing Company in Woburn, MA
SELF.MADE.
Lord Hobo was founded in 2015 by Daniel Lanigan, a restaurant lifer and entrepreneur. Daniel started the company during a time when the New England style IPA was rapidly growing in popularity throughout the Northeast. While some breweries embraced a direct-to-consumer model which limited the availability of this much sought-after style of beer, Daniel recognized an opportunity to produce and distribute NE IPAs, bringing the style to a wider audience. As a restaurant owner, Daniel always maintained great relationships with his brewery partners and recognized the importance of bars and restaurants in the beer ecosystem. In accordance with this founding principle, we are dedicated to supporting our on and off premise accounts and being the best supplier that they partner with.
In our first year of operation we released Boomsauce, the double IPA that quickly gained popularity and became our flagship beer. We took our favorite aspects from some of the other beers we were brewing at the time and put them together to create the iconic beer. Boomsauce became the first beer we were notable for and served as our introduction to a host of beer drinkers thirsty for balanced and bold NE style beers. Today, Boomsauce is the #1 Mass-made Double IPA in the state and remains the centerpiece of our hop-focused core lineup.
As the beer world has changed, so has Lord Hobo, embracing challenge and an ability to evolve. We currently boast a core lineup of seven year-round beers and an ever-rotating selection of exciting and boundary-pushing ales and lagers. In 2020, we released 78 beers, both at our taproom and across the markets we serve!
THE BREWHOUSE
At Lord Hobo we’re proud of our state-of-the-art facilities that allow us to consistently create our fan favorites beers alongside new and innovative recipes. Our current brewhouse began construction in 2014 at a building in Woburn, MA with a storied history of a granite and stone factory. We currently boast a 40-barrel brewhouse where our market-wide releases are made, as well as a 10-barrel brewhouse where the brewers’ imaginations get to run wild. You may have had one of these creations at our taproom!
From the start, we knew we wanted to go big and not be limited by space, so we chose a facility where we could do so. Over the last 5+ years, we moved on from a Wild Goose canning line and upgraded to a Krones filler that is able to can up to 250 cans per minute. We have also added two-grain silos, 40 fermenters, seven bright tanks, and a shiny new centrifuge. In our current space, our maximum annual output is 240,000 barrels of beer; this is something we constantly push ourselves to achieve.
We have also invested heavily in our lab so we can monitor all aspects of our beer, including how it ages. We keep a beer library for aged sensory analysis so that we can continuously monitor each of our beers. Through a robust quality assurance process and various pieces of high-end sensory equipment, we can identify and quickly address any quality issues that may arise.
