5 Things You Should Know This Week – July 7th

Take a sunrise or sunset kayak tour

What better way to start or end your day than with a guided sunrise or sunset kayak tour of Boston Harbor? The Piers Park Sailing Center offers guided sunrise and sunset tours this weekend! It’s a great way to explore the city from the ocean!  You can book the morning session here and the evening one here!  Kayaking at Piers Park helps support its public access, youth, and adaptive programs.  They are also open for regular public kayaking; you can reserve a time to kayak the Piers Park Cove by booking here. 

“Y’all Ship” at the Tall Ship

If you’re lookin’ for some country flair with your harbor views, the Tall Ship has you covered. Every Thursday night from now through Labor Day, it’s “Ya’ll Ship”—a weekly country-themed night in partnership with 101.7 The Bull. Expect cowboy boots, brews, and plenty of good vibes as Brandon Clay from The Bull takes the mic to host the evening. He’ll be away Red Sox tickets, swag, and more throughout the night. So throw on your cowboy hat, grab your friends, and get ready to dance the night away!

Get your elastic waist pants ready!

East Boston Main Streets will host the 29th Annual “Taste of Eastie” on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025, from 6:00-9:00 pm at the Tall Ship, weather permitting (rain date July 29, 2025). For 29 years, Taste of Eastie has been East Boston’s largest charity dining event. It sells out every year, with attendees eager to try a “taste” of Eastie’s diverse local cuisine and support Eastie. We highly recommend arriving early to avoid missing out on any of the amazing food. Tickets are $60 and you can purchase your ticket here! 

Have a wonderful week!
