Boston Events

Boston events give the city its pulse—from marathon runners to chowder fests and outdoor movies on the Common.

There’s always something happening, whether you’re visiting for a weekend or planning a seasonal getaway.

Our guides help you find the perfect timing for your trip—no stress, all fun.

Signature Celebrations and Local Favorites

Spring brings tulips, parades, and of course, the Boston Marathon.

Summer lights up with food fests, beer gardens, and open-air concerts along the waterfront.

Fall delivers pumpkin patches, Oktoberfest block parties, and spooky strolls through Beacon Hill.

And winter? Think twinkling lights, holiday markets, and ice skating with skyline views.

We keep our Boston events guides updated with what’s worth your time, rain or shine.

Plan Around the Best

Each event guide includes key info: how to get there, where to park, what to bring, and what to expect.

Plus, we flag free entry events, family-friendly options, and where to grab a bite nearby.

It’s like having a local planner, minus the back-and-forth texts.

Big Names and Local Charm

Boston knows how to go big—but its neighborhood events shine too.

Catch a jazz show in the South End, a vintage market in Cambridge, or a pop-up art exhibit on the Greenway.

Our Boston events roundups include both the headliners and the hidden gems—so your trip feels well-timed and well-lived.
