The Goings-On of Boston

What’s Happening in Boston This Month?

SPRING-THEMED EVENTS April is a time of spring traditions, from Easter to the Boston Marathon and Earth Day. These events usher in spring and signal warmer weather ahead. In addition to plenty of music festivals, many events are geared toward shaking off winter. Did you know there is a sheepshearing festival at Gore Place in Waltham? I didn’t either, but the 31st annual event is taking place April 28. What says spring more than shearing off your winter coat? The event also has live music, historic re- enactments, fiber goods, and crafts. JAPANESE FESTIVAL This festival started in 2012 as a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Kyoto, Boston’s sister city, giving Washington D. C. cherry blossom trees. This year will mark its seventh year running and will be held for two days, April 28–29. Hosted at the Boston Common, you can enjoy traditional and modern Japanese music, open booths for Japanese-themed items and food, and the revelry at large. There will be various activities you can either watch or participate in, such as a cosplay contest and a raffle. If you’re someone who wants to get out of the house after the long winter months, now is your chance. With local events such as these, it’ll be easy to pick and choose!

Planning on being in the Boston area this spring? Being bored will be the least of your worries. There are several great events going on that are sure to grab your attention.

PATRIOTS DAY If you like history, especially the Civil War, then you won’t want to miss out on this annual event. From April 14–16, Patriots Day will take Lexington by storm. The festivities will include re-enactments, historical walk-throughs, plays, and other entertainment hosted by the Lexington Historical Society. Patriots day became an official holiday in 1894 when Massachusetts Legislature was persuaded by the Lexington Historical Society. Ever since, the Lexington Historical Society strives to present the history and heritage of Lexington to the public.
