The
sun is shining in New England, which means it is the best time to get out,
enjoy and explore. With so many fun
activities outside your front door, we figured it would be fun to find new
adventures that won’t break the bank!
Here are five local things to do for under $25 this summer. In fact,
these are five
cool and mostly-FREE local events, so get up and go have some fun!
National Sand Sculpting Competition at Revere Beach, July
18th-20th. This event is free and
includes concerts and fireworks! Bring
the kids for sand sculpting lessons, check out the amazing exhibits and get
your toes wet while you’re there! Since
we haven’t spent any of your money yet….bring your $25 just in case the aroma
from the food trucks or world-famous Kelly’s Roast Beef grabs your attention!
Free
Flicks Fridays on the Charles River at the Hatch Shell beginning Friday,
July 11th and continuing for the following six weeks. This is a great opportunity to bring your
family into the city. Break out some blankets or lawn chairs and pack a picnic
basket. Movies start at dusk and feature
a variety of box offices smashes including Frozen,
the Goonies and Despicable Me 2. Aside from
feeding the meters or parking lot fees, this is another freebie!
Shakespeare
on the Common
July 23rd-Aug. 10th featuring the Shakespeare play Twelfth
Night, which follows the journeys of twins separated by a shipwreck.
Free culture in a beautiful setting – what could be better! Shows take place at the Parkman Bandstand at
Boston Common, Tuesdays thru Saturdays at 8 pm, and Sundays at 7 pm for the
live performance. Public transportation is available via the Red Line. Or take
the Green line, and then walk up Newbury to catch the best people watching
experience in Boston.
Gloucester Downtown
Block Parties
Saturday July 19th, August 16th, and September 20th. With four stages set up for live music,
cocktail contests and loads of food from local restaurants – the only thing
that could make the night more fun is shopping. And Gloucester Downtown Block
Parties have that too! There’s even a
kids’ zone with games, face painting and snacks. Admission is free – it is up to you how much
money you spend….local merchants may challenge your $25 budget!
Peabody Street Park
Summer Concert Series
in Salem. Free family-friendly concert
series every Sunday from 3-6 p.m at Peabody Street Park. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the
beautiful setting. When the show is over, take a stroll over to Salem Harbor
Walk or the Pickering Wharf for dinner!
