Forty-plus years after its revival, Faneuil Hall Marketplace remains as exciting a summer destination as ever thanks to a slew of regular events aimed at entertaining both locals and visitors alike. In addition to various free art lessons for both kids and adults throughout the week, there’s also the Bollywood Workout to get you moving on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. and the Blitz Chess Tournaments to stimulate your brain on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. For those looking for more passive options, enjoy live music on Thursday nights at 7 p.m., and family-friendly shows for the kids on Saturday mornings at 10:30 a.m. History buffs can even get in on the action with free tours of venerable Quincy Market (pictured) on Mondays and Saturdays at 11 a.m. And on top of all this, there’s the Street Performer Showcase August 5 & 6 from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. featuring all of the Marketplace’s regular buskers—from musicians to jugglers to escape artists—playing continually throughout the day.
