Last week I visited the Chihuly exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. I’m generally uncomfortable with arts museums, because I rarely “get” what is going on, and suspect often that there is nothing! But the Chihuly exhibit is a rare exception, sort of the “Harvard Glass Flower Exhibit” blown up 10 feet tall for the 21st century, with exhibits you can walk through like a giant forest! I hope you are having an awesome week. Now get out there and do something fun!

| The Week in Weird | ||||
| Thu 7/14Boston MetroForest Hills Lantern Festival |
 |
|||
| The event of the week is the Forest Hills Lantern Festival. It’s simply amazing, one of my favorite events of the year. You write a message or japanese character on rice paper, wrap it around a wooden float with a candle, and they all get floated on a lake as the sun sets and music plays in this cemetery. 6-9pm. Rain date 7 days later. Forest Hills Cemetery, Boston, MA.617-524-0128. more |
||||
| Thu 7/14 – Sun 7/17Boston MetroRevere Beach Sand Sculpting Festival |

||||
| Sat 7/16Western MassGlasgow Lands Scottish Festival |
 |
|||
| I’m a big fan of Scottish festivals — so much energy and crazy competitions like throwing stones and hammers. 9am-9:30pm. Rain or shine. Look Park, 300 North Main St., Northampton, MA.413-862-8095. more |
||||
| Sat 7/16Boston MetroAfrican Festival of Boston |
 |
|||
| Sure, they’ll have live music and the ubiquitous vendors and food. But the parade at 10am from Boston Common is the real draw to this festival, and African-themed fests are rare. 9am-9pm. Boston City Hall Plaza, Boston, MA.857-249-3831. more |
||||
| Sat 7/16Northwest MassGreen River Festival (Balloon Festival) |
 |
|||
| Did you miss the one last week? Here’s another festival with hot air balloons! And they have three live music stages but no fireworks. Off Rt 91 exit 26. Greenfield Community College, Greenfield, MA.413-773-9393. more |
||||
| Sun 7/17Boston MetroCivil War Soldiers Send Off |

||||
| Sat 7/16Boston MetroCivil War Tour on Georges Island |

||||
| Thu 7/14 – Sun 7/17Rhode IslandNewport Black Ships Festival |

Various locations, Newport, RI.401-846-2720. more |

||||
| Sun 7/17Boston MetroOld Fashioned Family Day at Winthrop Beach |
 |
|||
| What’s better than cars? Airplanes! This celebration takes place at Yirrell Beach, which is right next to Logan Airport. You can see planes landing about 100 feet off the ground, no exaggeration! For this reason it’s a lovely beach to visit at night, too. There’s a swim competition, music, food, games like hula hoops, and “Beach Sumo Wrestling”. Rain date next day. 10am-3pm. Yirrell Beach, Shirley Street, Winthrop, MA.617-846-8243. more |
||||
| Sat 7/16North ShoreModel Rocket Launch at Amesbury |
 |
|||
| Even better than airplanes: rockets! I really want to see this! (Okay, I want to see everything, I admit it.) I haven’t fired off model rockets since I was a kid. (Somehow, we managed to not set anything on fire.). Amesbury, MA. more |
||||
| Sat 7/16North ShoreAnnual Wacky Cardboard Race (The Fourth Annual Race to the Bottom) |
 |
|||
| Perhaps the most inventive vehicle event this weekend is this annual kids event where you build a boat and try to float! Pre-register for $100 and get a ship-building kit. Prizes include “first to sink”! 11am-3pm. Back Beach, Rockport, MA.978-546-6788 or 978-852-1005 . more |

 |
|||
| If you missed the Scooper Bowl in Boston, you can run your diet right off the tracks at this event in Worcester instead. They’ll have live music, including an American Idol finalist, and you can get your kids fingerprinted, which I guess is a good thing?

||||
| Sun 7/17Boston MetroBastille Day Festivities in Harvard Square |
 |
|||
| This one’s also a block party! They’re closing Holyoke Street from 2-11pm and calling it the “largest free” celebration in the area.

||||
| Fri 7/15Boston MetroBastille Day Party & Dance in Boston |
 |
|||
| They’re blocking off Marlborough Street between Berkeley and Clarendon from 6-11 PM for a huge dance party. I went last year and because they wanted to serve alcohol, it’s like you’re trying to have a party in a giant crowded cage! And it’s not free. I was really disappointed in this event, which comes with live music but not much else, even though it’s hosted by the French Consulate. French Cultural Center,Marlborough St at Berkeley St, Boston, MA.617-912-0400 or 617-876-4275 . more |
||||

||||
| Sat 7/16New HampshireAmerican Independence Festival |

| The 4th of July is not quite over yet! You can meet George Washington and other re-enacted historical figures. They’ll have a parade, old timey music and cannon firing, and “colonial games”. 1 Governors Lane, Exeter, NH.603-772-2622. more |
||||
| Also Fun | ||||
| Sun 4/10 – Sun 8/7Boston MetroChihuly: Glass Sculpture at the Museum of Fine Arts |
 |
|||
| The MFA is hosting an entire FOREST of giant glass flowers, glass sea creatures, and other oddities. They are above you, they are below you, you walk through them and around them, all without any glass cases to get in the way of the experience. I love sculpture and this is the next big thing, trust me. The scale of the projects, the translucent colors, are magical and uplifting, and you really must go check it out. I’m not much normally for some of the MFA’s permanent exhibits, which I find hard to understand, but this one is an accessible gem that even if you don’t go to many museums, you will love. Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA. more |
||||

||||
| Fri 7/15Boston MetroBoston Harbor Swim |
 |
|||
| It’s a 22-mile swim. Riiiiiiiiight. I think I’ll sit this one out and just watch. Boston, MA. more |
||||
| Fri 7/15 – Sun 7/17Boston MetroSkateBoston |

||||
| Sat 7/16 – Sun 7/17Rhode IslandWarren Quahog | ||||

||||
