After 24 hours stuck in the house with family, too much pie and wrapping paper wreckage, it’s time to venture out. By December 26 you could probably use a dose of live music, craft beer and people who aren’t related to you. If that’s not the case, bring the relatives with you — the day after Christmas offers up options for listeners of every ilk.
All events listed take place on Friday, Dec. 26. For more ideas, check out Clubland.
