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?

You can also visit the flag garden at Seaport’s Fallen Heroes Memorial this weekend.
2. Cheer on the Red Sox at Fenway Park
This weekend is jam-packed with away Red Sox games—so sadly most of them will have to be seen on the big screen!
