Launching Neighborhood News

Two Festivals, Two Squares

You know we're getting closer to June when both Harvard AND Davis shut down for street fairs. That, and my building pool finally opening. We'll need our umbrellas handy for potential showers but nonetheless, weekend plans have dropped. Harvard shuts down for the 41st annual MayFair, Davis fills up for the Hong Kong Festival, and CambridgeSide hosts its annual 5K along East Cambridge if your Strava's been looking too quiet.

Kendall Makes A Comeback

No one likes a rainy long weekend (especially during Memorial Day), yet between the overcast skies, quiet neighborhood roads and empty red line rides, Camberville always has something cooking. Kendall brings the cities back to life on a packed Thursday with the Farmers Market opening at Termeer Square, Froca Fitness launching free outdoor dance classes in the park, and The Independent kicking off summer daiquiri nights.

Long Weekend, Short Commute

Let everyone else sit in traffic. Memorial Day Weekend means the squares go a little quieter as people live the cities, but not totally off. Friday Garden Levels launches Remnant's summer vinyl series in the beer garden with 2010s bangers. Club Passim celebrates 25 years of its folk festival with sets running all through Memorial Day. Saturday brings Small Mart back to Davis and a midnight climbing session at Central Rock. Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone.
