Boston's first weekend of August brings a mix of free community celebrations and ticketed spectacles to the city's waterfront and beyond. The Boston Race Amity Arts and Music Festival returns to Rowes Wharf with music, art, and free ice cream, while Atlantic Wharf's Summer Bash offers family-friendly fun along the harbor. The week rounds out with concerts spanning jam bands, country rock, Latin pop, and classical music. Guests can take in the music and art on display while discovering ways to join the organization's ongoing work. Fenway Park anchors the weekend as a premier concert destination, while an intimate club setting offers a more low-key alternative.
