Today is the last weekend shopping day before Christmas, so why not make it more fun with a shopping day at the Casbah? Along with several vendors -- plus the Casbah's own merchandise on sale -- some great local acts (such as Neighbors to the North, Subsurfer and Shake Before Us) will keep the music flowing all afternoon while you shop and mingle and enjoy some holiday cheer. By night, hang around for the Down's Family who have inspired some serious fun over the last couple decades. If Casbah isn't your bag, however, catch Mighty Mighty Bosstones at House of Blues, Youth Code at Soda Bar, or get your pirate rock on with the Dread Crew of Oddwood at the Merrow.
