So you missed out on some sold-out shows this weekend — like a John Waters Christmas, Maryland Science Center’s Pink Floyd tribute or Baltimore native and “Breakfast Club” co-host Jess Hilarious’ two nights at Nevermore Hall.

Don’t sweat it. There are still tons of holiday celebrations, concerts and other events in the city to fill your weekend calendar.

Thursday, Dec. 11

Holiday on Holliday tree lighting

After inclement weather postponed the original date, the Baltimore City Hall tree lighting will illuminate downtown as “American Idol” contestant and city native Gabby Samone and the Baltimore Urban Inspirational Collective perform.

Time: 6-8 p.m.

Price: Free

Location: City Hall (100 Holliday St.)

Family friendly? Yes

A Very Stoop Holiday

Make it a festive night out in North Baltimore: The White Marsh Ballet Academy will perform portions of “The Nutcracker” during Belvedere Square’s tree lighting ceremony from 5-7 p.m.

After a cup of hot chocolate or cider, walk over to the Senator Theatre for Stoop Storytelling’s annual holiday show, where Julia Nadeau, Rob Phoenix, William Young and others will share personal tales. Nelly’s Echo will provide the live music.

‘Cure’

Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s psychological thriller about a string of bizarre murders is considered a classic, the fingerprints of which are all over the Japanese horror films that followed the movie’s 1997 release. It even made “Parasite” director Bong Joon-ho’s Top 10 movies list. See a subtitled screening at the Charles Theatre.

Time: 9 p.m.

Price: $10

Location: The Charles Theatre (1711 N. Charles St.)

Family friendly? No, it’s rated R

Danny Brown

Danny Brown has turned out to be one of modern hip-hop’s most inventive characters. His latest album, November’s “Stardust,” is another left-field turn — this time toward hyperpop, the maximalist subgenre of electronic music having its extended moment. The Detroit rapper headlines Nevermore Hall, along with openers Underscores and femtanyl.

Time: 7 p.m.

Price: $40

Location: Nevermore Hall (20 Market Place)

Family friendly? No but the show is technically all ages

Friday, Dec. 12

Sade and Champagne

The description for this event at Old Goucher wine bar Fadensonnen — “a grown and sexy dance party” with DJ King Cole — could be the weekend’s surest bet. I mean, it’s Sade and Champagne. What else is there to expect?

Time: 8 p.m.-midnight

Price: Free

Location: Fadensonnen (3 W. 23rd St.)

Family friendly? Leave this to the adults

GZA and the live band Phunky Nomads will honor the 30th anniversary of his seminal album, “Liquid Swords,” at Baltimore Soundstage. Opener Baltimore rapper ILL Conscious will also celebrate the release of his new release, “The Aggregation of Marginal Gains.”

Time: 7 p.m.

Price: $30
