Bond Square Block Party

Bond Square gets a proper neighborhood-style takeover with this block party, a welcome excuse to spend an afternoon outside rather than moving from one indoor spot to another. The event brings together food, drinks, music and activities in the heart of the neighborhood, with enough going on to make it worth dropping by even if you do not plan to stay for the whole thing. The appeal is less about a packed entertainment lineup than the chance to see this stretch of the Seaport functioning as a social space instead of a pass-through. Bring friends, grab something to eat, and settle in for a few hours while the square does what a good public gathering place should. It is an easygoing choice for a weekend when you want plans, but not the kind that require much planning.
