Schooners
-- You have to hop the Commuter Rail (or, you know, drive), but Gloucester's Schooner Festival is worth it, if you are a boats fanatic like Bostonist is. Events will take place all day long, racing begins at 1 p.m. Free.
Festivals
-- St. Anthony's Feast is the largest celebration of Italian heritage in New England. And it's a good reason not to drive a car anywhere near the North End. Food, lights, traditional music: You know the drill. Events listed here, but beware of the auto-play soundtrack. North End, all day. Free.
Dancing Hipsters
