If you’re in Brattleboro, Elliot Street is the place to be on Friday July, 27. Celebrate food, the arts, and the shops with your green mountain neighbors. Get your grub on at the International food crawl, take your little ones to a concert for kids, and do your grown up thing with some music by Pinedrop, and M.O.D. featuring Molly Steinmark and Parker McQueeney.

The Machine Shop at South Deerfield’s Monday Night Music // MONDAY, July 30
It’s hard to get out with an 18-month old, but this is something I’m really going to try to get to. The Machine Shop boasts acoustic Irish, old-time, and contra dance instrumentals by a group of UMass jammers. With many performances too long for us these days, this 45 minute set from 7 to 7:45 p.m. feels like just the thing for a nice summer evening with a young squirt. Tilton Library, 75 N. Main St., South Deerfield. Free. Tiltonlibrary.org.
