June 29 – July 7, 2010: Free movies, Historical Re-enactments, 330 July 4th Celebrations, 22 Outdoor Movies / Theatre, and 131 Outdoor Concerts
06/29/10 by
Johnny Monsarrat
I’ve really outdone myself this time, creating not only the largest list of July 4th celebrations, but the largest list that ever has been and ever will be, because nobody would be stupid enough to spend this much work on it ever again, including me. Every item has been personally checked and comes with 2010 dates, times, rain dates, websites, and whether there will be fireworks or a parade.
I’ve also updated the look of the website so that you can “Facebook share” individual events. (That’s why every event has a not-too-useful ‘details’ page.) In the future I’ll clean up the look even more. I’ve also created a Facebook “Organization” page to replace the Facebook group. Please join. Please note the first item this week is free tickets to The Last Airbender. If you were on the Twitter or Facebook, you could have gotten those yesterday. So join already. 🙂

| Boston Harborfest | 6/30 – 7/5 | Boston Metro |

| The rest of Boston Harborfest is bound to have something interesting.

| Oh my god!! I have discovered an actual CREATION MUSEUM and it’s just a 2.5 hour drive from Boston. I thought these people were all safely a thousand miles away in the South! You know what this is? It’s a place where people who deny evolution spend money that could have gone to help starving people and instead goes to fabricate the story of how dinosaurs lived with humans 5,000 years ago. Now, I’m not suggesting that you go and make a fool of yourself and take photos of mooning the museum. But if you do, definitely email me. Actually, email me whenever you moon anything. :).
