If you're going to be in Boston on August 8, the 2nd annual BostonFest will be going on at the Seaport World Trade Center. The event is for 21 and over with plenty of food, fun, live music, games and giveaways. Tickets start at $30 which includes admission and one drink ticket. The Boston event runs from 5pm to 10pm. Enjoy!
Luckily, Boston summers aren’t known for excruciating heat, because in mid August down south and you'll be scorching. I'd suggest staying either at Seaport Boston Hotel or the Westin Boston Waterfront (this one is very close to the Boston Logan international airport). Also, I recommend not driving into Boston because traffic in Boston is ridiculous!
here it's a list of prices if anyone is interested in going; - General Admission (includes admission to event & one drink ticket) costs $30 - Individual VIP Wristband (includes admission to event & food/drink) costs $105 By the way, BostonFest isn't a family event...it is strictly 21+ and you must bring ID to enter.
Thanks, PacificNorth, for sharing driving, airport and hotel info especially for anyone traveling to Boston for the first time and not familiar with the layout of the city. There are several hotels near Logan along with the Seaport Boston Hotel with nice features and amenities.
