Outdoor Yoga at Piers Park

Join Marisa from The Point Yoga for a rejuvenating Vinyasa Flow yoga class set outdoors in the stunning Piers Park on Friday at 5:30pm, where the beauty of nature enhances every breath and movement. As the sun sets over the Boston Harbor, you’ll move through a dynamic sequence of postures designed to build strength, flexibility, and inner calm. Reserve your spot here! 

See Jaws on the Big Screen

As the film marks its 50th anniversary, Jaws will return to the giant screen at the New England Aquarium’s Simons Theatre with nightly screenings Sept. 4-6. The film tells the story of a massive great white shark that terrorizes a summer resort town where a police chief, a grizzled fisherman, and an intrepid marine biologist battle the bloodthirsty animal. Experience the fully restored classic film on the Simons Theatre’s giant screen, nearly five stories high with wrap-around digital surround sound. Tickets are $10 each. Themed concessions will be available for purchase, including specialty cocktails. Visitors can also pair a film with a visit to the Aquarium, grab dinner and drinks at Dockside Beer Garden on Central Wharf, and create a special evening with friends and family. Purchase tickets here.
