(The #BostonWeekend Thread 1/?)
Probably rainy Saturday 5/18, but like a 1/4 inch - highs in the upper 60s Friday, upper 50s Saturday & Sunday. Pack a poncho and/or the goretex, and don't forget your daytime SPF, despite the cloudy forecast. #mawx

Through Sunday, its #Brimfield #Antiques Shows out in #HampdenCounty (kinda Between #SpringfieldMA and #Worcester, at least a 70 minute drive from #boston depending on the 'pike).
They have everything, not just antiques, across huge grass fields. If you like haggling with vendors and unique goods. The May sale is usually the best of the year as vendors unload their winter finds.
#InmanSquare's delightful shop #GatherHere hosts the #Makers Market of #Handmade crafts in #CambridgeMA this Sunday from 1-4pm - Food and vendors abound, and live #BostonMusic https://www.eventbrite.com/e/inman-eats-crafts-2024-tickets-875422200367
