WHAT’S UP BOSTON – SPRING 2018

Time to shake off that late-winter snow, thaw our bones, and prepare for some springtime sunshine. This winter season teased us with a few days reaching temps in the 60s, so we’re stoked to take advantage of everything Boston has to offer when it’s not so frigid.

Here are some of our favorite events coming up this spring:

• Boston Marathon: Spend your Patriots’ Day rooting for the heroes who train for ages to run this annual, super elite race that ends in Copley Square. Or, if you’re inspired to run in a race of your own, keep your training going strong. April 16
