Fun Western Mass things to check out on a long weekend?

Hey! I'm going to be in Northampton this coming weekend for about three days, and I'm coming to you good people for some recs of things to do and check out. So what am I into? Yeah, good q. Music (garagey/indie/punk-adjacent stuff in particular, but I'm all over the map), food (love a good diner or pub grub but am pretty adventurous in general), art (contemporary in particular), DIY culture, places where the weirdos and artsy types hang out. I'm already planning on things like the zine fest in Holyoke and the record fair at Northampton High, got some bar recs too. If time permits I want to head up to North Adams/Mass MoCa at some point. What else in the Northampton area do you think someone with my interests should check out? What's worth seeing/hearing/doing in any of the smaller towns around Western Mass? Any sick local bands playing this weekend? TIA!
