10:00 am – 11:30 am Ninety minutes downtown with a guide who reads buildings for a living, and it wraps up well before the afternoon gets loud. |
|
12:00 pm – 10:00 pm Three stages and a craft village at the Marshfield Fairgrounds, about 45 minutes south of the city. Go early: storms are possible late in the day. |

7:00 pm – 12:00 am Boston’s longest-running drag bar runs its Saturday showcase. Loud, joyful, and indoors when the rain arrives. |
|
|
5:00 pm – 11:00 pm Newton’s Italian-American street feast reaches its 91st year, and Sunday night is the finale: processions, food stands, lights over Pellegrini Park. |
