Truth be Told Storytelling: Work, Work, Work
When/where: United Parish in Brookline at 8 p.m. Friday.
Why: You spend about a third of your day there, so you're bound to have some stories about it. That's what Truth be Told is all about: Tell your stories about the evil boss, or chat briefly about why you would do your job for free. If you want to tell your story now, email ahead--if you get there and are moved, you can sign up at the event.
Pricing: $5
Boston Local Food Festival
When/where: 11 a.m. at 308 Congress Street in Boston
Why: Buying and eating locally grown food is can help the planet, and it gets you fresher, healthier foods. Celebrate that in Boston with a whole host of locally grown food, drink and even crafts. You can also meet some of the people who make local food possible.
Pricing: Free
Swingtime
When/where: Brookline Academy of Dance, 8 p.m. Saturday
Why: Swingtime is an alcohol- and substance-free dance for LGBT youth and friends which happens once a month. You don't need any experience or a dancing partner, and can stop by to pick up some pointers on your swing, salsa, ballroom, or two-step dancing skills.
Pricing: $12
Hayrides at Allandale Farm
When/where: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, at Allandale Farm
Why: It's as "fall" as pumpkin pie and buying Halloween costumes. Every 20 minutes, you can see a new perspective on Allandale farm from the back of a tractor-pulled hay cart. If that's not enough, there is a whole Jackson Homestead Hayfest going on in Newton as well.
Pricing: $3
The Beaconsfield Terraces: An Experiment in Domestic Economy Walking Tour
