Submitted by Audrey Trieschman on
Boston-area families can find plenty of fun and free things to do this weekend. From World Oceans Day in Boston to Fresh Pond Day in Cambridge, from the Dragon Boat Festival in Cambridge to the Arts Festival in Salem, the weekend is filled with festivals and celebrations. And local farms are gearing up for strawberry season; read about pick-your-own farms and upcoming festivals to celebrate. We also have recommendations for pizza and ice cream near Drumlin Farm (has Kristin’s post inspired you to go?), the Boston Public Library, Blue Hills Reservation and more.
Still figuring out what to do this summer? How about getting free stuff and getting the kids to keep reading all summer - Tara shares this winning combination. Plus, guest blogger Nantucket Bucket shares its Summer Nantucket Bucket List - 15 kid-tested, parent-approved activities that are some of the Island’s top must-do experiences and sure to be the highlight of any Nantucket vacation.
