Not only is fall considered the time when these tasty shellfish are at their best, it’s also the return of Legal Sea Foods’ (refer to listing, page 61) sixth annual Oyster Festival. From September 17–October 14, enjoy featured oyster dishes, as well as special events, at Legal restaurants throughout the area. The first event, the “Shellfish Shindig,” takes place September 21 at the Charles Square location in Cambridge (20 University Road, 617-491-9400) from 2–4 p.m. Slurp down $1 oysters at the al fresco Terrace Bar while they last, or indulge in favorites like oyster stew, fried oysters, oyster po’ boys and the ever-popular bacon-wrapped oysters. The fun continues September 23 and October 2 at the Park Square location in Boston (26 Park Plaza, 617-426- 4444), where diners can opt for a three-course, wine-and-oyster pairing menu for only $40. Reservations for this prix fixe dinner are recommended. WHAT BOSTON’S IN THE SPIRIT BUZZING ABOUT As fall sets in and the days grow shorter, the thoughts of many inevitably turn toward all things spooky. The 9.15.14 folks at Cambridge Historical Tours (617-520-4030, cambridgehistoricaltours.org) are no different, as they offer an eerie and illuminatingGhost Tour throughout the Halloween season. Expert guides in Victorian-era costumes lead 90-minute walking excursions around Harvard Square recounting shocking tales of grisly murders and harrowing hauntings before ending, appropriately enough, at Cambridge’s Old Burying Ground. To keep it from getting too scary for young ones, “spirited” jokes are interspersed along the way. For those less inclined toward the morbid, don’t fret—the company also offers regular tours of both Harvard Square and the high-tech playground of Kendall Square. 6 PANORAMA HUBBUB TOP PHOTO: CHIP NESTOR AUTUMN SERENADE A joyous annual tradition, RiverSing returns to the banks of the Charles River in Cambridge on September 21 for its 11th year. Created by Revels, a performing arts organization dedicated to bringing people together through traditional music and dance, this free, family-friendly event celebrates the autumnal equinox with a colorful, puppet-filled parade, followed by the main event, a communal sing-along led by the 100-member Revels RiverSing Chorus of adults and children at the Weeks Footbridge. A slew of guest singers join the fun, as well as percussion ensemble Bloco AfroBrazil and acrobats and circus performers from Moonship Productions. What better way to say goodbye to summer and welcome the official start to fall? Join the festivities beginning at 5 p.m. in Harvard Square before the 5:45 p.m. parade, and get ready to sing your heart out at 6 p.m. SOUP’S ON Chocolate, chili and even salsa have all been feted in Harvard Square over the past several years, yet one of the culinary delicacies most associated with the Boston area—clam chowder—hasn’t had its own celebration—that is, until now. On September 21 in front of 25 Brattle St. from 2–4 p.m., join fellow bivalve fans at the first annualChowderfest , where close to a dozen Cambridge restaurants offer sample sizes of their creamiest clam concoctions, along with other soups and stews. This free festival also boasts a “mocktail” bar, hosted by Harvard Square favorite Grendel’s Den. Thousands are expected to attend, so come early if you don’t want to miss out on this inaugural event. TaKING IT TO THE STREET Ten acts and two stages all on one street—this is what folk music fans can enjoy, all for free, when the fifth annual New England Americana Festival takes to a closed-down Brattle Street in Harvard Square on September 27 from noon–9 p.m.
