WHAT’S UP BOSTON – SPRING 2016

With the Boston Marathon just one week away, this can only mean one thing – Spring is in the air. After a cold but less than white Winter, Bostonians are eager to shed their layers, get outside, and enjoy the warmer weather.

Whether you are an outdoorsman, an art enthusiast, or a tech geek, Spring is the season to get out of the house and discover something new. From the first pitch at Fenway to PAX East, there is ton to see and do – if you know where to look. Below is a list our studio has compiled to help find you something new.

  • Boston Brew Bus: Hold onto your hats beer-lovers, because your designated driver just got a lot more fun. The Maine Brew Bus is bringing its award-winning tours of craft breweries, wineries and distilleries to Boston this Spring.
  • #Techstyle at the MFA: Clothes that respond to the environment, are ingeniously constructed from recycled materials, and garments that come off a 3-D printer ready to wear are just a few of innovative fashion pieces on display at the MFA this Spring. March 16 – July 10
  • Red Sox Opening Day: Whether or not you have season tickets you can still cheer on the Sox and show some local pride at one of the many sports bars surrounding Fenway. April 11

  • NewCo Boston: For the first time, Boston will host its own version of the Festival of Innovation founded by Wired founder John Battelle. The festival’s aim is “the inspiration and cross-pollination of ideas that drive some of the most successful companies by opening their doors and exposing others to the creative process”. April 26
