I attended several events, and yesterday went mid-day to the main event area, in Copley Plaza.
Sharon Shannon was playing on the main stage, and was excellent.
I wandered to the nearby Public Garden for a while; it was lovely, as usual.
Professor World Band was busking on the lawn, and drawing a crowd.
My intent was to stay for a while; Suzanne Vega was the headliner for a free concert at dusk.
I headed back to Copley Plaza.
The secondary stage was odd: They'd drained the Plaza fountain to create a recessed area. But it worked well.
The Luminarium Dance Troupe performed an elaborate modern dance.

Alas, just as happened for the 4th of July fireworks, the weather did not cooperate. A huge storm moved in, stopping the outdoor performances, and scattering the crowd.
But it was nice while it lasted!
How did you get there Fred? Did you take the T or use the Rail system?
ReplyDeleteMy apartment is 1.5 miles from Copley Plaza; a 20 min brisk walk. :)
ReplyDelete(... or a 5 min walk, and 3 stops on the T.)
The next time my wife and I are in Boston I would definitely like to buy you a cup of coffee, or a cold beverage. We are definitely familiar with the Back Bay, Brookline, Copley area. We have walked around there a lot during our visits.
