The Boston Globe
BosTen is your weekly guide to events and cool happenings in and around Boston. Skip Netflix this weekend—here are 10 ways to get out of the apartment and not be bored in the Hub.
1. Head of the Charles Regatta The Head of the Charlies is our can’t-miss event of the week, one of those things that’s just quintessentially Boston. It’s your annual excuse to either become a rowing fan or pretend you’re an Ivy Leaguer. (Saturday at 8 a.m. to Sunday at 5 p.m.; Charles River; free; all ages)
And then there’s also…
2. Kickstarter Film Festival Thirty-two theaters nationwide will screen features, documentaries, and shorts that were funded right from Kickstarters. We’re talking everything from Sundance hits to award-winners to animation. (Thursday at 7:30 p.m.; The Brattle Theatre, Cambridge; free admission)
3. Lululemon Warehouse SaleAn enormous, highly-anticipated shopping throwdown for the athletic brand is happening over the course of three days (the Facebook event even anticipates that some will fly into town for this). (Friday-Sunday from 8 a.m.-8 p.m.; Hynes Convention Center; free entry)

4. Wang Theater Open House Discover a historic Boston venue by perusing old photos and film, entering to win free tickets to future events, even leaving your mark by signing “the wall’’ backstage. (Friday at 2 p.m.; Citi Performing Arts Center, Wang Theatre; free; all ages)
5. McDonald’s All Day Breakfast Pajama Party McDonald’s is so pumped about serving breakfast all day that they’ll be dishing out free Egg McMuffins and coffee for those who come dressed in their PJs (and those who don’t, too). (Friday at 11 a.m.; City Hall Plaza; free; all ages)
