Memorial Day weekend has finally arrived! Fire up the grill for a family BBQ, make a splash at an inaugural visit to a local beach, and enjoy a long weekend of extra fun in Boston! Pack a picnic for an outdoor family dinner among the sculptures in Lincoln, kick off the unofficial start of summer with live music and farm animals in Dover, or find your summer vibe with a family yoga class in Boylston. Want to get out of the city? A long weekend is the perfect time to venture out on a quick family day trip.

As always, keep tabs on our Boston events calendar for daily updates on the best local and virtual happenings. And don't forget to book those summer camps—spots are filling up fast for the 2021 season.
