Looking for things to do in Boston in June?

The Top 13 Epic Adventures To Unleash The Fun In Boston This June!

Oh, June in Boston! Let me tell you, it’s like the city chugs a gallon of espresso and goes from sleepy to peppy in a blink! The moment June arrives, you can practically hear the city screaming, “Let the good times roll, baby!”

First of all, the weather!

June gives Boston a break from the frosty grip of winter and the unpredictable tantrums of spring. The sun decides to join the party, and suddenly it’s all warm and toasty. You can finally step out of your apartment without looking like a walking marshmallow.

Trust me, that’s a sight to behold!

But it’s not just the temperature that gets everyone’s spirits up. June brings a kaleidoscope of events and festivals that make Boston come alive.

From the Boston Harborfest to the Pride Parade, there’s something for everyone. And let’s not forget the music festivals! You’ll see people dancing in the streets, their moves rivaling those of Beyoncé (or at least trying their best).

The city parks transform into playgrounds for grown-ups.

People flock to the Esplanade for picnics, frisbee games, and impromptu concerts. The Swan Boats in the Public Garden become the floating hotspots of romance, and even the squirrels seem to be having a squirrel-sized fiesta.

The Fenway neighborhood is no exception to the June fever.

Baseball fans come alive, cheering for their beloved Red Sox at Fenway Park. The air is thick with the smell of hot dogs and the sound of crackling bats. It’s like the entire city is holding its breath, waiting for the home run that sends everyone into a frenzy.

So, you see, June in Boston is like a magic spell.

It shakes the city out of its winter slumber and injects it with a dose of vibrant energy. From the lively events to the infectious atmosphere, it’s the perfect time to explore, laugh, and soak up the contagious joy that radiates from every street corner. Boston in June?

It’s a party you don’t want to miss, my friend!

  • 8. See Evita

    Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Tony Award-winning rock opera Evita follows the adored and reviled Eva Perón’s meteoric rise from an impoverished childhood to first lady of Argentina until her death at 33. Directed by Sammi Cannold (Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Hollywood & Entertainment, EndlingsViolet), this eagerly anticipated revival featuring unforgettable songs including “Buenos Aires” and “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” explores how we make sense of contradictions in legacy.

    Evita is now playing at the A.R.T in Cambridge through July 30 at the Loeb Drama Center in Harvard Square.
