There are plenty of things to keep you entertained this weekend. Don’t miss Springfest. Springtime in Cambridge is a much-loved season, and this event promises to bring a lot of free food, live music, and people together on the MAC Quad. Despite our misconceived reputation, we also have parties. Saturday’s annual Leverett 80’s Dance might be worth your time.

The decrepit gym with bars on the windows and crusty red pads lining the walls gives this game an old-school ambiance. Given the frequency of cheap fouls and grumbling, arguments arise consistently, and battling a prosecutor-in-training never ends...
