Celebrate Memorial Day in Boston!


The calendar start of summer doesn’t technically arrive until late June. But here in Boston, Memorial Day signifies the unofficial start to the summer season and it’s coming up this weekend! This time of year, many locals take the opportunity to hit the road and travel to Cape Cod or Martha’s Vineyard. If you’re interested in buying a home in Boston, this weekend would be a fantastic time to visit. Fewer crowds will make exploring the city stress-free, not to mention you’ll have an easier time snagging a dinner reservation and getting tickets to a Red Sox game. Here’s your roundup of Memorial Day activities to check out while you’re visiting us in Boston this weekend.

Red Sox Game at Fenway Park
There’s nothing quite like taking a mouthwatering bite of a hotdog at the first Red Sox game of the summer season. Simply being in the vicinity of Fenway Park during a Red Sox game has a palpable energy you won’t find anywhere else. With so many diehard fans out of town for Memorial Day weekend, you may even be able to score a few tickets below face value. Buy your tickets now for an unforgettable experience at Fenway Park on Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

Visit the Military Heroes Garden of Flags on Boston Common
Once again, the Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund has planted flags on Boston Common to honor the Massachusetts service members who have given their lives to defend the United States since the Civil War. This year, the organization planted 33,000 flags at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, and they will be on display until 6pm on Monday, May 27th.

“Boston I Love” at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts
This weekend presents a great opportunity to tour Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts completely free of charge! From Saturday through Monday you’ll enjoy special exhibitions, art making, gallery tours, family activities, and a community art project. Additionally, all on-site contributions will directly benefit victims of the Boston Marathon bombings through donations to The One Fund Boston.

Shop Memorial Day Sales in Boston
Memorial Day weekend is notorious for having some of the greatest sales of the year. Right now would be the perfect time to pick up some finishing touches for your Boston home if you’ve just moved in or are planning to sell in the near future. Prudential Center, Newbury Street and Copley Place are all top shopping destinations for Boston residents and visitors alike.

There’s so much happening in Boston this Memorial Day weekend! While it’s certainly fun to find new ways to celebrate the unofficial start of summer, I encourage you to visit Boston Common and take a moment to remember the service members who have lost their lives for our country. If you’ve been thinking about buying a home in Boston, this weekend is the perfect time to pay a visit and get a feel for what the city has to offer. Please contact me, your Boston real estate agent, once you arrive. I’d be thrilled to help you find your new home just in time for summer!
