Your weekly #BostonWeekend thread - Boston area events worth the trip - is an ad-free, human-curated project. Please, get the word out - boost or reply. Knowing that people look forward to this list every week keeps me working on it - Let's choose to build our community here, neighbor. 2/x
Follow #BostonWeekend to keep in touch. Highlights: Harborfest, Chinatown Summer Festival, Marblehead Arts Fest, bike rides, Savannah Bananas, Quincy 400, and the Pops playing Sousa and then scare all the city’s dogs with explosions. Get home fully intact, tho.

Fri is the Fourth of July. You could go to the Esplanade and see some fireworks, or go to many, many other towns which have fewer fireworks and 0% #BostonPops. Be safe out there.
