Security increased at Boston festivals after shooting in Roxbury
BOSTON - Summer in Boston has as many festivals as accents. It's a celebration of heritage and food. At times, the draw of the crowd can overshadow these joyous moments leaving an opportunity for mischief and violence. It's a reality that has played out in recent weeks. "Unfortunately, there are bad elements that show up at these things and take advantage of situations. I wish they wouldn't," said Jack Connolly, a festivalgoer at Saint Anthony's Feast in the North End. "This is well lit. I'm seeing a lot of police presence. We are very supportive of our law enforcement community."Increased...

Forest Hills Cemetery has drawn criticism from residents over the last several years due to the discontinuation of beloved events, changed policies, removal of trees, lack of communication, and more, but for those yearning for an explanation, there might be one on the horizon.

Bow Market’s all-day Circus Extravaganza bounces from one kind of delight to another
Bow Market’s all-day Circus Extravaganza bounces from one kind of delight to another. Get ready – the circus is coming to town. Bow Market’s Circus Extravaganza will take over the Union Square centerpiece all day Saturday. And what is a circus without a sideshow? It was with that question in mind that burlesque artist Shari Caplan and comedian Kaitlin Buckley teamed up to present Circus Luminous, an after-hours variety show to captivate the adults after a day of all-ages fun. Yes, the event will feature comedy from Buckley as well as Boston Comedy Festival finalist Maria Palombi, but it will also feature burlesque, drag, music and poetry. It might seem like a stretch for those more accustomed to a traditional comedy show, but Buckley welcomes the challenge of bringing in those audience members skeptical of the format (more on this in “Circus Luminous Aims to Marry the Silly and the Sultry,” Aug. 22). After all, these art forms “grew up together” in the vaudeville era, so it feels fitting they’ll appear alongside one another again to “surprise, delight and entertain” folks on Bow Market’s second level.
