Looking to get outside and enjoy the best of the summer but want to go easy on your wallet? Want to cozy up on a blanket, popcorn in hand, as the sun sets and a blockbuster movie graces the giant screen? Or perhaps you are hoping to sway to the soulful rhythms of a local musician at an outdoor concert? The Emerald has gathered a roundup of South End outdoor events that are family friendly and free! So grab your picnic baskets, gather your loved ones, and get ready for a summer filled with movies, music, and art.
We have made it to summer in the South End — say goodbye to gray skies and rainy days and hello to sunshine and warmer weather! The weather also means there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities and events, so you can soak up the sun and enjoy local artists, musicians, and more!
As the days finally warm up and the summer months are in full swing, various programs across the city are helping to provide positive activities for youth and families to make the summer both more enjoyable and safer. Here are some of the programs and activities available to South End youth this summer.
Emerald staff rounded up local Juneteenth events so you and yours can easily find ways to participate both in person and virtually in celebrations, storytimes, cooking classes, and so much more!
