The “What’s Going Ons” of the Museum of Fine Arts

Every Friday in July and August, the MFA has Summer Fridays. These events are very similar to the mfafirstfriday events that are hosted throughout the year. The one main difference is that these summer events are all outside in the Calderwood Courtyard. There is live music and a cash bar. The entry to this event is FREE with museum admission. The following entertainment is at the remaining nights:
Aug 4—Grupo Fantasia
Aug 11—Reggae Fantasia
Aug 18—Mariachi Fantasia
Aug 25—Sambita

Music is a huge part of MFA summers, and there are three more great shows coming up this season in the Concerts in the Courtyard series:

• CJ Chenier and the Red Hot Louisana Band, Aug 9, 7:30 pm. 

• Naftule's Dream and Beat Circus, Aug 16, 7:30 pm.

• Sharon Jones and Dap-Kings, Aug 23, 7:30 pm.
These concerts, also taking place in the Calderwood Courtyard, occur weekly on Wednesdays and are priced at $20 forMFA members, students, and senior and general admission is $25. Table seating available for an additional $30.

There are also some great exhibitions, as always. Check out the MFA website for more details about:
