What’s up Boston // Summer 2017

It’s finally looking like summer here in Boston – not to mention that it finally stopped raining – and that means it’s time to get out and enjoy being outside. Whether it’s by the ocean, the mountains or the lakes, Boston and New England have a little bit for everyone. And, if you want to stay inside, we’ve got that too.
Here are some of our favorite upcoming activities:
- Boston Harborfest: With hundreds of activities over Independence Day weekend at Boston’s best landmarks, this family-friendly event is the country’s largest Fourth of July festival. June 30th – July 4th
