The Boston Harbor Hotel launched its 17th annual Summer in the City Entertainment Series this month, which features free live entertainment almost every evening against the breathtaking backdrop of the Boston Harbor. This waterfront event has become a summer staple for Boston with bands performing three days a week on the hotel’s floating barge stage.

Each night of the week features a different theme – from Soul Tuesdays, Rat Pack Wednesdays and Blues Thursdays to Movie Night Fridays, there is something for everyone! The outdoor terrace of the Rowes Wharf Sea Grille and the exceptional cuisine of Chef Daniel Bruce help to complete a perfect summer evening filled with music and dancing. As the sun sets every Friday night, the hotel’s waterfront transforms into an outdoor movie theater with a classic movie playing against the backdrop of the Boston Harbor.  The Summer Series Movie Nights features hit films such as The Princess Bride, Rocky, African Queen, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The series runs from June 11 through September 10, with bands beginning at 6PM and movies starting at dusk. Whether you are the dancing type or prefer to watch a classic movie under the stars, it is a summer event not to miss.
