I haven’t seen a single show this month, which is probably why I’ve been feeling so meh. If you’re also going through live music withdrawal, Filter plays Citizens House of Blues on Sunday and we’ve got a pair of tickets with your name on ‘em.
JUST ANNOUNCED
Last chance for $30 tickets and to set yourself up for a summer of live music. Hurry, the promo was extended but it ends today!
Start your weekend with pasta and a pour: Selfup’s Pasta & Wine Night is a hands-on cooking class led by an Italian chef, so you know it’s legit. Enter to win a seat at the table!*
Be there when your kid’s favorite cartoon steps off the screen and onto the stage. Bluey’s Big Play hits the Boch Center Wang Theatre on June 13th-14th and there’s still time to get tickets.*
A fleet of towering tall ships is sailing into Boston from July 11th-16th as part of the America250 celebration. It’s one of just five stops nationwide, with a full lineup of fireworks, a Parade of Sails and a chance to get onboard.
Find even more just-announced Boston shows to add to your calendar!
YOUR GUIDE TO PORCHFEST SEASON
Crank those speakers! Warm weather means it’s socially acceptable, and even encouraged, to rock out on a porch, stoop or side yard. We’re all in favor of supporting local artists turning the neighborhood into a block party. Check out our guide to Porchfests around Boston, and see you in Somerville on Saturday.

THIS WEEKEND
5.7 - SPRING STROLL in SOUTHIE 5.8 - BOSTON ARTS MARKET in DTX 5.8 - TECH OPERA in SOMERVILLE 5.9 - SPRING BEERFEST in CAMBRIDGE 5.9-5.10 - TULIP FEST in AMESBURY |
HOW TO SPEND THE PERFECT DAY IN SEAPORT
Seaport is where Boston’s past and present collide. One minute you’re surrounded by old warehouses, the next you’re singing along with your favorite band on the waterfront. Here’s your game plan to max out your time in the neighborhood.
LOCALS ONLY
Boogie down to Lovestruck Books tonight and celebrate the ’70s disco scene with author Christian John Wikane and A Night at the Disco Book Bash.
It’s starting to smell like spring spirit in the Arboretum with over 400 lilacs in bloom. Don’t forget your blanket for Lilac Sunday, the only day of the year when you can picnic on the lawn.
World Cup heads-up: if you’re driving to Foxboro for one of the matches, maybe don’t. Officials are warning major traffic, and if that Brazil vs. France friendly was any preview, it’s going to be a mess. Time to make a plan.
