Something about a summer weekend makes you want to be outside, and in the Boston area, that often means catching live music or joining in a local celebration. This month, three upcoming festivals are worth your attention. Each is different but worth showing up for, so grab the sunscreen and head out to enjoy what the season offers in Boston. What started as a surf shop anniversary party has grown into one of New England’s most anticipated music weekends. Held in Marshfield, the Levitate Music Festival brings national touring acts and local favorites together for two full days of music, art, and food. This year’s lineup includes Stick Figure, The Revivalist, Thundercat, and Still Woozy. The setting is relaxed, the crowd is easy-going, LEVITATE MUSIC FESTIVAL JULY 12–13
and the vibe is pure coastal summer. Two-day and single-day tickets are currently available. CAMBRIDGE JAZZ FESTIVAL JULY 26–27 Levitate isn’t the only upcoming music festival to mark on your calendar. The Cambridge Jazz Festival will celebrate its 10th anniversary of bringing great jazz performers to Danehy
Park in late July. Hosted by the Cambridge Jazz Foundation, this free event is the perfect excuse to get outside and enjoy music and a fun environment for the entire family. Along with the music, attendees can enjoy food trucks, art vendors, and exhibits at the festival’s Jazz Museum. THE PUERTO RICAN FESTIVAL OF MASSACHUSETTS — JULY 26–27 Now in its sixth decade, the Puerto Rican Festival of Massachusetts celebrates culture, resilience, and community. It features live music, traditional dance, and food vendors serving everything from mofongo to piraguas. The festival draws thousands to Boston Common annually and culminates with an iconic parade through the South End and Roxbury. It’s a full weekend of pride and joy and one of the summer’s most vibrant city events.
