Biting Beats
Fifty years after the movie’s release, the score for Jaws remains iconic. At Jaws in Concert, experience the classic Steven Spielberg thriller with live accompaniment from the Boston Pops. At 7:30 p.m. both nights in Symphony Hall, relive the terror as you watch the shark approach swimmers — and hear the foreboding theme in person. From $62. bso.org
Saturday
Porch Perfect
Experience a one-of-a-kind music festival at Somerville PorchFest. From noon to 6 p.m., Somervillians will transform their porches into stages for those singing and playing instruments outside homes throughout the city. Stroll around and hear community members perform. Free. Find map, times at somervilleartscouncil.org.
Sunday
Make Way Day
Celebrate the children’s classic Make Way for Ducklings at Boston’s annual Duckling Day. This festival, which begins at 10 a.m. on Boston Common, features lawn games, a one-woman circus, magic, face painting, ballet, and — of course — live readings of Robert McCloskey’s beloved story. Then, parade through Boston as you retrace Mrs. Mallard’s steps toward the ducklings statue in the Boston Public Garden. Find registration, $35 per family, at friendsofthepublicgarden.org.
