Somerville in January is perfect for “let’s go out, but keep it simple.” Walkable spots, good energy, and enough events to stop January from feeling like one long Monday.
1.NJ Salsa — Somerville Tuesdays (Village Brewing Company) — Tuesdays in January
A built-in plan that says “I’m fun” without requiring you to plan a thing.
Cost Box: Ticketed / RSVP (varies)
2.DSA Annual Stakeholders Meeting — Mon, Jan 12 @ 6–9 PM
If you want more cool stuff downtown, this is where the behind-the-scenes people gather. Also: surprisingly good networking without the stiff vibes.
Cost Box: Free
3.Party For a Purpose — Fri, Jan 16 @ 8 PM
A night out that feels good because it’s tied to something bigger than “I wanted to leave my apartment.”
Cost Box: Ticketed / donation-based (varies)
4.Candlelight Concert (Tribute to Coldplay / Queen) — Sat, Jan 24 @ 6:30 PM
Candlelight + live music = instant winter romance, even if you show up in a puffer jacket that makes you look like a marshmallow.
Cost Box: $35.00
My top pick: Candlelight Concert (because it’s maximum vibe for minimum effort).
