Fairs & Festivals
The town of Peacham is transformed into a cold-weather wonderland fit for a snow globe for the Peacham Winter Carnival. The fifth annual fest commences Friday evening with ice skating, a travel talk by Tim McKay and a family paint-and-sip event with artists Alex and Cecilia Garvin. The frosty fun continues on Saturday with a pancake breakfast and more than a dozen indoor and outdoor activities. Fresh-air adventurers relish dog sled demos, cross-country skiing and a guided nature walk. Those who prefer to keep warm and cozy delight in themed crafts, a chili-and-cornbread lunch, and the all-ages Winter Snowball Dance.

Music
Music lovers experience a bit of pop and rock history at a decades-spanning concert with vocal group the Doo Wop Project. Six charismatic singers take audience members on a chronological journey through the evolution of the doo-wop genre, which originated in the 1950s and features close vocal harmonies and nonsensical phrases. (Think the repetition of “Shoo-doo, shoo-be-doo” in the Five Satins’ 1956 hit “In the Still of the Night.”) The sextet, which includes current and former stars of Broadway’s Jersey Boys and Motown: The Musical, serves up ’50s and ’60s hits such as “Little Bitty Pretty One” by Thurston Harris and doo-wop inspired takes on contemporary songs by Maroon 5 and Amy Winehouse.
