Things To Do in Boston This Weekend: November 13-November 15

From magic and comedy to candlelit strings and chart-topping R&B, Boston's weekend event lineup has something for every taste. Piff the Magic Dragon and his Chihuahua sidekick bring deadpan laughs and jaw-dropping illusions to City Winery Boston, while Candlelight: Tribute to Dolly Parton reimagines country classics inside a historic cathedral. GRAMMY winner Victoria Monét celebrates her new album on the Frequency of Love Tour at MGM Music Hall at Fenway. Pub comedy, a Grateful Dead tribute, late-night dancing, Celtics and Bruins matchups, a Doris Kearns Goodwin talk, and a Trippie Redd concert keep the momentum going.
