There is nothing better than autumn in Boston. For those from tropical climates the weather may be a bit brisk for there liking, but there is no doubting that this town comes back to life each fall. After a sleepy summer where students say so long and residents slip away each weekend to the Cape, Islands and Coast, the fall injects life back into Boston. As a result, each weekend is chalk full of activities. This past weekend is the perfect example.
Boston Freedom Rally – Held the third Thursday of every September on the Boston Common is The Boston Freedom Rally which is the second largest rally to legalize marijuana in the United States. Although official numbers are not available easily more than 100,000 come to enjoy the rally each year. The photo above provides an idea of the size of the crowd.
MixFest Concert at Hatch Shell – This past Saturday a local radio station hosted a free concert along the Charles River to welcome students back to Boston. Artists included Lifehouse, Michelle Branch and a host of others, and attracted tens of thousands to the esplanade.
South End Open Studios – The 25th annual celebration which occurred this past Saturday and Sunday included more than 250 artists in Boston and drew tens of thousands of art enthusiasts visiting local artists in their studios and neighborhood galleries which were open especially for the occasion.
