MetroWest-area readers came out in full force to vote for concert, entertainment and music venues in our latest poll.
In our most recent "Best of Patch: Readers' Choice poll, we asked readers and editors from 11 MetroWest-area Patch communities to submit one business or destination from their town or city to be included in a poll for "the best entertainment spot."
