I hope you had a fabulous Fourth of July in Boston, MA! Do
you ever feel down after the holiday weekend passes by? If you think the best
of summer in Boston is over, I’m here to let you know that’s not true! Tons of
events and activities continue to fill the Boston calendar. Check out my
Boston events page for a full list.
Aside from mainstream events, Boston, MA has a very original artsy
and musical following, with lots of art events every week. As your Boston real estate agent, I’d like to introduce you to five events coming up. Bring the whole
family, because most of these are appropriate for kids, too!
- Every Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., bring the kids onto the Boston Harbor Islands for Arts in the Park! Each week, free art and craft activities are designed especially for kids, including watercolor, drawing, ocean-themed creations and more. This Thursday will take place on Spectacle Island, while July 18 will take place on Georges Island. You can catch ferries to the islands from downtown Boston’s Long Wharf North.
- Also on Thursday, head to the Institute of Contemporary Art from 6 to 8:30 p.m. for Harborwalk Sounds 2013. This week is Wambura Mitaru Synergy, which combines African root sounds from a South African guitarist, Egyptian percussionist and Kenyan vocalist. It’s a hybrid tune like nothing you’ve heard before! Admission to the museum is free every Thursday night, with different musical performers.
- The birth of modern France occurred on July 14, 1789, after the storming of the Bastille prison. To celebrate, Boston’s French Cultural Center is hosting Bastille Day on Friday, July 12, from 6 to 11 p.m. A portion of Marlborough Street will be blocked off for a street party, with high-energy music for dancing!
