There is always the NYE parties but I'd be interested to hear what else might be out there. I'm willing to donate to the penguins to wear this tux at the aquarium. I'll donate to electricity if I can drink at the museum of science.

Maybe don't just say it. Be about it. Meet me at the Sting Ray touch tank tomorrow at high noon. Come in a tux or don't come at all

Plenty of folks in jeans at the symphony too. If you are playing dress up, I recommend getting good seats to be around others more dressed up. Good doesn’t mean expensive — you can get $25 tickets if you’re under 40 down in the front side orchestra, and that’ll do the trick. Also pick a Saturday night.

ICA first Fridays parties aren’t black tie but they are the more reliably fashionable recurring event in Boston that I know of. So if you just want to dress fancy but not specifically a tux, or are up for modifying your tux into something a little more groovy, see you first Friday of the month at the ICA!

Why does one need an “event”…?!
Be your own event. Ride the T. Grab a taxi. Step into McDonalds. See a movie. Better grab your top hat and tails though for full effect. Best to make a full statement in the common folks establishments

My wife and I had an amazing time at our wedding, anyone not having a good time at their own wedding is doing it wrong, not sure what that user is talking about.
I’ve noticed Reddit is sort of “anti-wedding” so I’d take what people say about weddings on here with a big grain of salt.
pkcommando t1_iy3dspn wrote
Just have a regular day out at the Aquarium in your tux. Spend the whole time staring at the penguins, shaking your head from time to time, and muttering "fucking amateurs don't know style" whenever other guests are in earshot.
tamirabeth t1_iy3ergm wrote
I meant if they knew someone was crashing. My wedding was expensive as hell and intentionally small, I'd be pissed if someone I didn't know crashed.
Also, my wedding and marriage were/are fantastic. No complaints.

Oh duh, I don't know how I misread that, my bad. I would have been mad about that too.

you'll have to wait until their big fund raising gala in May, but it's totally possible to get a drink at the Museum of Science.

Super fancy gala with nice food, you get a (short) ballet as part of the program, and surprisingly fun dance party at night after the dinner because the dancers join it. Looks like it's in February!

I saw storm troopers attempt to pick up some women at a teacher’s drinks at the MOS once.
True to storm troopers the shoot their shot…and missed by a mile.
People get weird at those events for adults at the museum. And I appreciate it.

Historic New England is doing a few festive events in old homes. There’s the Victorian Tea party at the Eustis Estate as well as a Christmas Cheer night. https://my.historicnewengland.org/13896/eustis-cheer-dec-2 Both are tuxedo worthy events and a plus if you like historical New England!

Half the reason I go to the ballet is so I can break out my collection of fancy dresses I never get to wear anywhere else
drizzlefoot321 t1_iy4s8hu wrote
Just wear it out wherever. My friends and I used to have a monthly tuxedo outing, and just go to random dive bars and restaurants. Black tie events typically are boring. Wearing a tuxedo to a dive bar, especially with a group of 10 people in tuxedos, is awesome. We always had fake back stories (charity events, book release party, canceled wedding etc). It was a great time. I got engaged one night because of the tuxedo. Never saw that lady again. Haha.

ABCD is having a charity/donor dinner in a couple weeks. I got invited for donating money last year. It's a $300/ticket donation fee to go. A little rich for my blood, but goes to a good cause.

Yea I was kinda hoping OP was young enough for the $500 bracket, which is still pricey but maybe worth it depending on how much OP wants to wear his tux.
