Lowell Folk Festival
Lowell Folk Festival what to do Boston events

The event of the week is the Lowell Folk Festival: the largest free folk festival in the US. I’ve been and it’s surprisingly rich, with a parade on Friday, 6 performance stages, a yo-yo performance, and the ubiquitous “vendors”.,
Downtown Lowell Lowell, MA

Sri Lanka Day what to do Boston events

FIGMENT Festival
FIGMENT Festival what to do Boston events
Boston, MA
Participatory art means that you don’t just look at it. You interact. These 80 participatory art activities are free & family friendly, and you’re invited to bring something to share. It sounds like summer! I’ve been to this. On the plus side, it was awesome to draw some chalk art, but the “artists” are mostly amateurs. The real draw of this event is just being outdoors on a nice day.,
Rose Kennedy Greenway Boston, MA

St. Joseph Feast Celebration
St. Joseph Feast Celebration what to do Boston events
Boston, MA
The Italians in Boston’s North End have a number of Catholic Festivals. So, how religious are these festivals? Is it fun to attend if you’re not Catholic? I am told that it is, yet with two processions and a “non-sectarian mass” that I assume won’t include Atheism or Judaism, I have doubts. Still, plenty of music.,

It’s a shame that this one goes unexplained, because “cars & coffee” is a really odd name. Is this a lawn show? It is outdoors? Apparently it starts at 7am… No wonder they need coffee. Yet, the Larz is a world-class auto museum. It’s worth seeing.,
