It’s officially hot out here on the Boston North Shore, and if you’re searching for North Shore events this weekend, you’re in the right place. There are plenty of fun ways to enjoy summer — beach festivals, outdoor concerts, and all kinds of activities to make the most of these sunny days.
Little heads-up… I went to Gloucester beach this week and the water was freezing! So if you’re planning a beach day, brace yourself for that first icy splash.
Or, if you’d rather cool off without the shock, don’t miss my blog on the best local water parks — perfect for a fun, refreshing day out!
