Yeah, it might rain some this #weekend but the heat should break so you're going out, right?

What's going on this June 21-23 weekend, #Boston / #Massachusetts ? I mean, Its Summer Solstice on the 20th, you've got plenty of daylight to waste :)

I scour local event listings for treasure, and compile the gems here, as a way to promote iconic/interesting/accessible local events to get the fediverse #BostonMA crowd out of their dens, into the world for enrichment. Community and sharing is good, yeah?

This account has a lot of #NewEngland followers, so tag me/#BostonWeekend to plug local stuff from lost pets to big gay dance parties.

Also if you follow me and don't live nearby, and this thread annoys, mute the tag #BostonWeekend and you've got an uncle Robert, then.

#Celtics (the #Boston men's basket-weaving team) get a parade this weekend, messing up travel through Boston all day and closing BPS schools.

Try to WFH if you normally commute downtown, yeah? But that advice always applies from me, frankly.

Expect #DuckBoats in the streets, Friday starting @ 11am - be safe if you go.

@knizer men's basket-weaving team πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

@daNanner

I went to the Bruins duck boat parade a decade ago, it was gross, people...hock-ing everywhere.

For the C's, I expect a chiller crowd of...reeders. 😹

@knizer I'm so hype will def be there πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€
@gemini be safe, friend! Victory Parade in Boston is an Experience, be prepared to go with the flow, but have no place to go (to the bathroom, that is).
