THE MOST OVERRATED PROPOSAL PLAN IN BOSTON

Amanda Macchia began her career with a camera, a journalism degree and a knack for chasing a good story. That same instinct drives her work today, creating images that feel real instead of rehearsed. Now, she's popping up at Bow Market with a Pride photo booth celebrating identity, community and showing up exactly as you are. We caught up with her to talk Boston’s best photo spots… and the one place she’d happily never shoot again.

THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• Just when rooftop season was getting good, Mother Nature had other ideas. MGM Music Hall is rescheduling their FREE rooftop party due to the forecast.

• Why walk when you can paddle? The Pride Flotilla brings canoes, kayaks and decked-out boats to the Mystic for a splashy celebration of LGBTQIA+ joy.

• Shop local, grab a bite and spend some time in the community on Sunday. The Black Owned Bos. Market returns to Seaport with food vendors, live music, a photo booth, giveaways and more.
