Events in Boston From 18th May – 24th May 2026

You can find a range of events in Boston this week, from live theatre to outdoor exploration. The programme includes screenings of classic films, performances of 1980s musical hits, and guided birdwatching trips on the Water Rail Way. Expect a mix of live entertainment and cultural experiences. The MBTA subway (the 'T') connects many of these venues, though parking in the city centre is costly. Boston Bus Station offers access for those arriving by coach, while Logan International Airport serves regional travel. Many events take place at Blackfriars Arts Centre, a venue with a long history tied to Boston’s medieval trade links. The town’s past as a Hanseatic port is reflected in its network of alleyways and the centuries-old St Botolph's Church. A short drive away, the Boston Belle hosts RSPB seal and birdwatching cruises.
