Summer Activations

Boston Harborwalk.

Soak Up the Sun

Summer in Boston is the best experience outside. Stroll the Harborwalk for-waterfront views, catch the energy of a game at Fenway Park, or hop a ferry to the Boston Harbor Islands for a quick escape. Get on the water with a kayak along the Charles River or Fort Point Channel, then wrap it up with food trucks, live music, and pop-ups at the Greenway.

Escape the Heat

Step inside and cool off with some of Boston’s best indoor experiences. Explore world-class collections at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston or the beautifully curated Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, dive into the immersive ocean world at the New England Aquarium, or recharge at Spa InterContinental with a pool, steam, and tailored treatments. Discover Boston’s hidden cocktail culture at intimate lounges like Loyall Counting Room, then explore spots like Time Out Market Boston for chef-driven bites and local flavors.
