Boston Harborfest
Boston Harborfest at Boston Events INSIDER
Boston, MA
Boston Harborfest always offers something interesting. The trick is to ignore the stuff that happens all year (like guided tours, whale watches, and museums) and go for the special stuff. Check out the detailed schedule for a full list of events. Meanwhile, look for highlights here on the blog!,

Operation Sail Tall Ships & Duels!
Operation Sail Tall Ships & Duels! at Boston Events INSIDER
Boston, MA
WTF, a battle re-enactment between tall ships! GET ME THERE!! I called and confirmed that these duels are really taking place as one group on a ship tries to board the other ship.,

,
Declaration of Independence Re-enactment
Declaration of Independence Re-enactment at Boston Events INSIDER
Quincy, MA
2-9pm. Also a not-to-be-missed activity is to head to Quincy and participate in a re-enactment of the Constitutional Congress 2-4pm, and see re-enactors portray Thomas Jefferson and John Adams in a play 7-9pm. I’ve seen it and it’s really, really amazing. And it’s free! City of Quincy doesn’t do a July 4th outdoor celebration — they do that on Flag Day.,
Beale House Lawn 181 Adams Streeet Quincy, MA

,
Jefferson and Adams: A Revolutionary Dialogue
Jefferson and Adams: A Revolutionary Dialogue at Boston Events INSIDER
Quincy, MA
Also fantastic — I’ve seen it! — is this play starring former US presidents Jefferson and Adams. One a radical, the other more practical. Hint: the guy from MA is the one who never owned slaves. Highly recommended!,

Miata Day at Larz Anderson Museum at Boston Events INSIDER

Cape Verdean Festival
Cape Verdean Festival at Boston Events INSIDER

Vintage Baseball Tournament
Vintage Baseball Tournament at Boston Events INSIDER

Sunset Clambake on Spectacle Island
Sunset Clambake on Spectacle Island at Boston Events INSIDER
Boston, MA
Or why not head out to the Boston Harbor Islands? Thursday is the first of a series of clambakes on Spectacle Island this year, catered by the Summer Shack. The price is $80- but covers the cost of the ferry, food, and beer. (Please tell me that you don’t think the best way to experience the outdoors is to get buzzed.) There are also children’s and vegetarian options, which are cheaper.,
