Welcome to your #BostonWeekend thread for May 29 to June 1 2025. Leave the house if that's an option - enjoy, enjoy your metropolitan region of #Boston, #Massachusetts #NewEngland 1/?
My weekly #BostonWeekend thread is a human-curated list of events worth the trip around Boston. Please help get the word out with a boost, favorites are always appreciated - I’m not building a business, this project is a self-inflicted favorites-driven serotonin machine. 2/x
Highlights: New England Hong Kong Festival, WBUR festival, Shakira (cancelled), Jay Leno, Teddy Swims, OK Go, Youth Bike Festival, Copaganda book talk, TRIPLE Porchfest (Malden AND Dorchester and South Boston), SomerStreets Carnaval, and Cazi Con! #BostonWeekend 3/x
#BostonWeekend 4/x Follow the #BostonWeekend tag, or tag your own post to promote something not on my radar.
If you’re following via bsky, Bridgy federation is janky sometimes, do check toot.boston/@knizer if you’re missing posts, there’s 30+ this round. Edits don't carry over.
