Bring your sense of humor to the Boston Comedy Festival. This popular event has brought some of the funniest comedians in the business to Boston, including Louis CK, Joan Rivers, Dennis Leary, and Lewis Black. Aside from stand up performances, the festival also features improv performances, sketch comedy, and hilarious independent films.
If you're a book lover there's no better way to celebrate that than by visiting the Boston Public Library, the nation's second largest library. This huge library is home to around 6.1 million books, in addition to about 1.7 million rare books and manuscripts that feature records from colonial Boston, early works of William Shakespeare and the personal book collection of John Adams.
Hang out at the Blue Hills Reservation for some outdoor sports and recreation fun. The reservation isn't too far from downtown Boston, and offers a variety of invigorating activities, including camping, fishing, non-motorized boating, hiking, rock climbing, softball, and swimming. There's also ice skating and skiing during the winter months.
Visit a place where an important event took place. The Boston Massacre site is where the legendary conflict between the colonists and British soldiers took place; some would even say that this event was one of the many catalysts to the American Revolution.
