The Red Sox are set to play two exhibition games against the Rays this weekend in the Dominican Republic — Boston’s first such trip in more than two decades.

The event is a homecoming for many current and former Sox players, and the team has a full weekend planned, including events both in Santo Domingo and in the Boston area.

The Red Sox are hosting a free community watch party at Terra Luna Cafe in Lawrence during Saturday’s game. The event will include photo opportunities with World Series trophies, plus food and drinks, music by local DJ Angel Alba, and family-friendly activities.
