Casting Call for FOX’s “Hell’s Kitchen”, Scooper Bowl, Soapbox Derby, Pride Week, Civil War, Parades, River Fesivals, & more!

This Week in ReviewJohnny Monsarrat

Wow! This week I spent researching outdoor movies, theatre, and music, which begin this week and peak in August. Nobody else comes close to my listing 270 outdoor summer music series, 81 outdoor summer movie series, and 53 outdoor theatre series, all in New England. Make one of these your excuse to travel and see a place in New England you haven’t been to before!

Speaking of randomly wandering New England, this weekend is Trails Day in Connecticut, and you’ll find open houses for historic homes all over.

I hope you are having an awesome week. Now get out there and do something fun!

Arlington Soapbox Derby Race Day at Boston Events INSIDER

Arlington Soapbox Derby Race Day

I’ve seen this! Cute kids race homemade cars, old-timey style, through the power of gravity. This is the only one I know of near Boston. Starts at 9am, when normal people are sleeping. Oh wait, these people all have kids. They’re probably woken every day at dawn by the sounds of kids breaking things in the house or generally screaming for no reason. So that’s why they’ve lost all touch with reality and scheduled their event to begin at 9am. (Click ‘more’ for details)I’ve seen this! Cute kids race homemade cars, old-timey style, th…
