cheap weekend fun!

As a reminder I am out on vacation, so I compiled my info earlier than usual. Please make sure you do your due-diligence and ensure event details haven’t changed, and please leave events in the comments if I missed any great weekend happenings!

If you are not busy moving (or helping someone move) this weekend and are around looking for something to do, here are a few fun things to check out this weekend that’s pretty affordable for this extended Labor Day Weekend!

Ben & Jerry’s Fair Trade Music Festival: Saturday, August 31, 2013 from 2-7pm at the Prudential Center. The Ben & Jerry’s Fair Trade Music Festival is Featuring the Ryan Montbleau Band and free treats from Ben & Jerry’s too.

Boston Arts Festival: Saturday, August 31, 2013 and Sunday, September 1, 2013 from 12-8pm at Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park. Celebrate the Visual and Performing Arts this weekend at the Boston Arts Festival as well as enjoy a fireworks display at 9pm on Saturday night.

Institute of Contemporary Art Boston: Saturday, August 31, 2013. The ICA Boston is free the last Saturday of every month for families, which is this Saturday!

Frank Hatch Free Day at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum: Monday, September 2, 2013: Frank Hatch Day traditionally has been on New Year’s, but Labor Day is great weather wise to visit the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum for free timed-entry so everyone can enjoy the museum and gardens!

29th Annual Gloucester Schooner Festival: Labor Day Weekend in Gloucester. If you live nearby or are looking for a fun thing to do outside the city, head north to Gloucester for this annual festival which includes Fireworks on Saturday night. Many events are free, but some are ticketed events.

Boston Adoption Party: Saturday, August 31, 2013 from 11-8pm at the Animal Rescue League of Boston in the South End. Looking to adopt a cat or dog? Adoption fees still apply, but there will be some discounts as well as free Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream and more!

Hope you have a great Labor Day Weekend and Good Luck with your move (and/or bargain hunting) if you are busy moving this weekend!
