Jamaica Pond Lantern Parade Sat 10/23 – Sun 10/24 Boston Metro
Boston's Events Insider, by Johnny Monsarrat
First, you make and decorate a paper lantern. Then 4,000 people, many of them in costume, parade around Jamaica Pond and float the lanterns. It’s serene, fulfilling, and beautiful to watch the lamps as the sun goes down.

Head of the Charles Regatta Sat 10/23 – Sun 10/24 Boston Metro
Boston's Events Insider, by Johnny Monsarrat
Sure, you know that this is the largest rowing competition in the world. Just go to the Boston or Cambridge side of the Charles River and watch people who are not you sweat and grunt. But did you know there’s also a “reunion village” for college alumni on the Boston side of the Weeks Footbridge, and a “Rowing & Fitness Expo” in Allston’s Artesani Park?
