Looking for plans for Memorial Weekend in Boston? You’ve come to the right place. It’s a busy one here in Boston, and there’s no shortages of things to do if you’re looking for them! As the unofficial start to summer, it’s the perfect long weekend to get out into the city or explore some coastal New England towns!
1. Take a stroll through a Memorial Day Flag Garden
Memorial Day is this Monday, and what better way to honor those who have served our country than by taking a moment to walk through the Flag Garden at Boston Common? Over 37,000 flags have been planted by the Massachusetts Military Heroes to represent every brave Massachusetts service member who gave his or her life defending our country since the Revolutionary War. You can also visit the flag garden at Seaport’s Fallen Heroes Memorial this weekend.
2. Cheer on the Red Sox at Fenway Park
Memorial Day weekend is jam-packed with three home Red Sox games versus the Milwaukee Brewers! Grab tickets here and get ready to cheer on the home team with some sunshine, hot dogs, and great vibes!
3. See live music at Boston Calling
That’s right – Boston’s biggest music festival is finally back this weekend! With multiple stages, a Ferris wheel, and crowds upwards of 40,000 people in years past, it’s safe to say this will be a festival for the ages. Taking place at the Harvard Athletic Complex, day tickets will run you $160. But the lineup is truly iconic: we’re talking The Killers, Tyler Childers, Ed Sheeran, and much more!
4. Visit the Lawn on D
Just in time for warm weather, Boston’s favorite outdoor interactive space is open for the season this weekend. The first of its kind in Boston, Lawn on D is a 2.7-acre outdoor experimental event landscape with glow-in-the-dark swings, food and drinks, and live entertainment. It’s a great spot to chill out on a sunny day!
