The Dagny’s Summer Sendoff Block Party

The end of summer deserves better than quietly putting the patio furniture away. The Dagny Boston’s Summer Sendoff Block Party turns the waterfront into a proper farewell, with live music, food, drinks and outdoor games in the heart of the Financial District. The appeal is less about any single activity than the chance to spend a late-summer evening outside without having to plan a whole night around it. Grab a drink, settle in for the music or challenge someone to a round of lawn games before the season changes gears. With the waterfront nearby, it also makes an easy stop before or after dinner downtown. It is a low-pressure way to squeeze a little more out of summer, particularly if you are not quite ready for the city's calendar to shift toward fall.
