Lively rock shows, blues and jazz, and comedy shows happen on the stage at the Pub Grainery (36 Otterson St., Nashua, 603/889-9524, www.pubgrainery.com [1]), which, even when shows aren’t happening, is also just a mellow place for a drink, with a pleasant vibe.
An achingly charming small-town affair, the Hollis Town Band Strawberry Festival (603/883-2448, www.hollistownband.org [2], June) celebrates the fruit crop each summer with marches played by the town brass band as well as strawberry shortcake and jams made by the Hollis Woman’s Club.
