Making plans? Short on ideas? No worries. See Milva DiDomizio and Courtney Hollands' picks for the top things to do around the Hub this long weekend. Take a peek, then get out!

Hugh Masekela: This legendary South African trumpeter has been a crusader for social justice since being introduced to his instrument by anti-apartheid activist Father Trevor Huddleston in 1954. Politics aside, with Masekela the music is the message, and he's conveyed it brilliantly alongside artists including Bob Marley, Paul Simon, Dizzy Gillespie, Santana, and Ella Fitzgerald. He's touring in support of his latest album "Phola." Hear the master with a new South African band that blends Afro-beat, funk, and jazz. 8 p.m. $42, $37, $30. Berklee Performance Center, 136 Mass. Ave., Boston. 617-876-4275,worldmusic.org
