SPECIAL EVENTS
Boston Marathon
www.bostonmarathon.org
This legendary event takes place
on Patriots’ Day (or, as it’s known
in Boston, “Marathon Monday”),
a holiday that’s only celebrated in
Massachusetts, in mid-April. It draws
thousands of runners and even more
supporters.
Head of the Charles Regatta
www.hocr.org
Another huge sporting event that
draws thousands of athletes and
spectators, this one is in mid-October,
and takes place on the famous Charles
River between Cambridge and Boston.
Taste of the South End
www.aac.org
A fabulous food festival benefiting AIDS
Action Committee of Massachusetts,
this event runs a week and generally
takes place in mid-March. Planning a trip
around a food festival may seem crazy to
some, but for foodies and gourmands,
this is heaven. All of the best Boston restaurants
are here, and their chefs show
off their culinary creations with no holds
barred.
Boston Pride
www.bostonpride.org
Boston Pride usually takes place the first
full week of June, and is New England’s
largest Pride celebration. It has become
as much an all-inclusive family event as
it is a party, and includes all the standards—parade,
block parties, concerts,
dance events, etc.
