Plus, a round up of farmers markets and a block party at the ICA's Watershed in East Boston.
Ah, June. The ascent to summer solstice on the 21st is my favorite time of the year. We New Englanders have fully emerged from our cold-weather cocoons, and shedding those layers makes it feel like most anything is possible. As the days lengthen, my fantasies of finding fun in the sun abound. And — lucky for us — metro-Boston is exploding with myriad ways to come together with family and friends in the great outdoors.
The banks of the Charles River transform into a family-friendly outdoor jamboree on Saturday. The Cambridge Arts River Festival's music, theater, dance and poetry will unfold on six stages along Memorial Drive. Also on deck: interactive art-making, buskers, international foods, and an arts and crafts market. The fest kicks off with its famous “” that invites all to dress up as real or imaginary sea creatures.
There’s a dad joke in here somewhere, but Zoo New England is inviting fathers to stop by Stoneham so they can say hi to a two-toed sloth dad named Nero . Their seventh little baby sloth was born there, at Stone Zoo, in March. Boston’s Franklin Park Zoo is home to other animal dads, including a western lowland gorilla named Kit, and Chad, a Masai giraffe. Admission at both zoos is free for all on Father’s Day, but advance registration is required. You can reserve up to five spots.
Grab your tote bags and baskets! Most Massachusetts farmers markets revive their selling seasons in early June, including Copley Square's on Fridays, Roslindale's on Saturdays, and the Haymarket in the North End which is open Fridays and Saturdays. In Harvard Square you’ll find the Charles River farmers market — also on Saturday — and a few miles away there's Union Square’s enticing bonanza.
