This is the summer to explore Boston and its incredible outdoor events and new attractions. The most convenient and welcoming place to stay in “America’s Walking City” is The Revolution Hotel in the South End, a neighborhood that embraces diversity and is within walking distance of the best Boston offers this summer.

First up is the annual Boston Harborfest celebration from June 30 – July 4, a family-friendly event that includes historical reenactments, live music, parades, and fireworks over Boston Harbor on July 1st.

For many Bostonians, the patriotic highlight of summer is the annual Boston Pops July 4th Spectacular at the Hatch Memorial Shell on the Charles River, which starts at 8:00 pm. This year, Keith Lockhart will lead a program featuring the Boston Pops orchestra with award-winning R&B/soul group En Vogue, along with Broadway star Mandy Gonzalez, country duo LOCASH and three cast members from the Pops’ recent concert presentation of “Ragtime: The Symphonic Concert.” Special guests also include the U.S. Army Field Band and Soldiers’ Chorus. The evening culminates with the perennial musical finale, Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, with fireworks over the Charles River timed to begin as the music reaches its climax.

The newest summer thrill in town is View Boston, which has just opened. This high-altitude experience sits atop the legendary Prudential Tower and offers a 360-degree city view. Take it further and enjoy a cocktail at Stratus or book a seat with a view at The Beacon Bistro and Bar.

Then bookmark the annual Dine Out Boston, which offers delicious deals at participating restaurants from August 6-19.

In a city famed as the Birthplace of the American Revolution, The Revolution Hotel is offering Patriot Perks. The deal is as revolutionary as the month it commemorates: book direct and save as much as 12% on rates that start as low as $158 per night. Now that’s a revolutionary way to experience summer in Boston.
