Crank those speakers for Porchfest season, the time of year when it's socially acceptable to rock out on a porch, stoop or side yard. We’re ready to get the party started, support local artists and (maybe) introduce ourselves to our neighbors. Check out our guide to Porchfests around Boston — see you in Somerville on Saturday!

THIS WEEKEND

💐 Spring Stroll

Today in Southie (4PM)

Shop, sip, and snack your way through Southie tonight as local restaurants, shops and patios come alive for the season during the annual spring stroll.

🍻 Sip Beer in the Park

Tomorrow-Saturday in Jamaica Plain (times vary) 

Roundhead Brewing is popping up at city parks all summer. They’re kicking off the Cerveza Que Reúne Beer Garden in JP on Fridays and Saturdays all month long.

🍦 Ice Cream Crawl

Tomorrow in Cambridge (6PM)

Let’s be real: it’s hard to make friends after college. This Ice Cream Crawl will help you meet new people and indulge in some tasty treats — rain be damned.

🪁 Kite Festival

Saturday at Revere Beach (11AM)

Spring takes flight this weekend at the Revere Beach Kite Festival. Enjoy food trucks, live music and plenty of space to make and fly your own kite.

🪻 Lilac Sunday

Sunday at Arnold Arboretum (10AM)

Smells like spring spirit in the Arboretum with over 400 lilacs in bloom. Don’t forget your blanket — Lilac Sunday is the only day of the year when you can picnic on the lawn.

LOCALS ONLY

  • Tomorrow is our favorite day of the week: Free Cash Friday! We’re all in on free museums, so we’re dropping cash somewhere delightfully offbeat. Follow along for your chance to find it first.

  • The Celtics came up short last night against the Knicks and are two losses from elimination — only now, we’re on the road. Time to panic? Maybe. Time for a drink? Definitely.

  • Dreaming of your main character moment? The Anthony Bourdain biopic “Tony” is casting locals for filming in Provincetown this summer. If you’ve got kitchen chops and plenty of personality, this could be your shot.

  • Make way for Mother’s Day; Duckling Day returns on Sunday with tiny costumes, big quacks and max cuteness on the Common.

Happy Friday Eve!
