There is so much happening in Boston this weekend, I hope that if you live in the area you will come out to participate in one of the many festivals taking place. Here are some of the largest celebrations happening this weekend.

Boston Calling is a large music festival that will draw equally large crowds who will come to see more than 20 bands perform on state in Gov’t Center. Unlike the other festivals this is not free so be prepared to pay top dollar to scalpers.
