| Scooper Bowl (world’s largest ice cream festival) | 6/8 – 6/10 | Boston Metro |

It’s the biggest event of its type in the world. Yum! 12-8pm daily. Boston City Hall Plaza, Boston, MA. see details on the complete Johnny’s List |

| Boston Kite Festival | 6/6 | Boston Metro | ||
| This one is highly recommended! It’s so much fun to see real professionals do choreographed ‘dance’ with their kites and have kite competitions. Artists will bring their own custom giant flying lobsters and box kites, and you can learn to fly a stunt kite with two strings. Free. 10am-4pm. No rain date. This website not only has no photos, when I click on their logo it says ouch! Don’t click on me! :).
