- Weekend events thread: Memorial Day 2024 Edition. There's a ton going on around town, but what's on your radar, ?

Friday's going to be hot again in the mid 80s, but Saturday and Sunday should be cooler/cloudier in the mid-upper 70s. Memorial Day Monday might have rainy afternoon cookouts, in the upper 60s.

(Promote this weekend's events with to play along 1/?)

is a 3 day music starting Friday around 1:30pm.
Highlights:

Sunday:

VIP Platinum passes are like 3 grand, which makes the 400$ for a basic 3 day pass seem like a bargain - right? Else its 200$ for a day pass unless you can finagle otherwise/secondary market.

Too rich for my blood for these bands, but gods bless you if this is your thing. Sat/Sun weather looks ideal so 🤞

This weekend of May 17th-19th, what's going on, ? What's the can't-miss event(s) you hope to enjoy?

Probably rainy Saturday 5/18, but like a 1/4 inch - highs in the upper 60s Friday, upper 50s Saturday & Sunday. Pack a poncho and/or the goretex, and don't forget your daytime SPF, despite the cloudy forecast.

Through Sunday, its Shows out in (kinda Between and , at least a 70 minute drive from depending on the 'pike).

They have everything, not just antiques, across huge grass fields. If you like haggling with vendors and unique goods. The May sale is usually the best of the year as vendors unload their winter finds.

Dear reader, if you've found this or past weekend threads useful, holler - especially if you end up at one of these events.

I curate these weekly threads, exclusively here for the fediverse. I'd like this subset of the fedi to grow beyond ~12 bostonians shouting about how much we love bikes.

Boosts, sharing local-ish events you're interested in, and tagging posts with help to that end, and likes just make me feel seen (which keeps me motivated to spend time on this entirely non-commercial project).

Be well and have fun out there, ! ✌️ ( 14/x)
