Arts at the Armory

Arts at the Armory puts concerts, comedy, dance, classes, and community events inside the old armory building on Highland Avenue in Somerville. The nonprofit operates several spaces here, including the Performance Hall, ROOTED Cafe, and Lavender Room. A visit can mean a ticketed evening show or something smaller on the calendar, so check the event listing for the room and admission details.

ROOTED Cafe also hosts exhibitions and performances, giving you another reason to look beyond the main hall’s schedule. Seasonal programming includes the winter farmers market. The mix changes throughout the year, and that variety is the point: choose the event first, then plan your visit around its start time.
