Boston’s Seaport is swapping the usual sidewalk stroll for a sunny picnic vibe this spring as The Current returns for its 19th season with Picnic at The Current. Open from April 30 through August 30, 2026, the pop‑up village along Seaport Common turns window‑shopping into a retail picnic with returning favorites and exciting newcomers!
