How this page works

Every ten minutes the list drops anything that has ended and re-sorts by start time. The count in the heading is live.
Free means the organizer lists no admission charge; Tickets links to the organizer’s own box office. We sell no tickets and add no fees.
Pictures come from the organizer. When there is none, the row shows the date and category instead of a stock photo.
The Don’t miss strip is editorial; a paid Sponsored Event, when sold, takes the first slot and is labeled.
Something wrong or missing? Submit a listing or tell the events desk.

About this list: 731 upcoming events from organizers, venues, libraries and the City of Boston, checked by Explore Boston editors. Times are Eastern. Forecast: National Weather Service, Boston. The Events Spotlight and Sponsored Events are paid placements when sold and are labeled as such.
