A PEEK AT THE PAST

Taking the Mystery Out of Boston History

BOSTON HARBOR ISLANDS L

argely unheralded outside of the Boston area, the Boston Harbor Islands remain a hidden gem for enthusiasts of sweeping views, fresh salt air and maritime adventure. These favored summertime retreats, most still technically part of the City of Boston, have been beckoning visitors with their beaches, campsites, hiking trails and historic sites even before the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area was officially incorporated in 1996. Indeed, the history of many of the islands’ chief attractions goes back much further than merely two decades.

The 34 islands in the park, some of which have been attached to the mainland by landfill or beach erosion, have much to explore. Befitting of Boston, the most prominent features are historic in nature.

Human habitation on these offshore oases goes back thousands of years. So far, 21 of the islands have been designated within an archeological district listed on the National Register of Historic Places, having shown evidence of prehistoric Native American use. One of the oldest structures still standing is Boston Light— built in 1716, it was toppled by the retreating British in 1776 and rebuilt in 1783—on Little Brewster Island, which celebrates 300 years of service this year. Other historic lighthouses include Graves Light (completed in 1905) on The Graves and Long Island Head Light (1901) on Long Island. Fortifications were also built on many islands to defend the city over the years.

Georges Island—the hub of the islands’ ferry service along with Spectacle Island­—is home to the Civil War-era military prison of Fort Warren. Fort Andrew on Peddocks Island was active from the early 1900s through World War II. The islands have also formerly served as sites for farms, granite quarries, summer resorts, quarantine hospitals, garbage dumps, pirate grave sites, immigration stations, internment camps, missile silos, a reform school, a fertilizer factory and even a glue factory. Fortunately for nature-lovers today, these structures and the activities they housed are safely in the past.

Ferry service from Boston’s Long Wharf to Georges and Spectacle islands has begun for the season, with expanded service to Little Brewster and several other islands resuming on June 17. Visit bostonharborislands.org or nps.gov/boha for more information. —Scott Roberto

HUBBUB

STEAMPUNK CIRCUS

In what has become a much-anticipated annual tradition, Montreal’s worldfamous Cirque du Soleil once again returns to Boston, this time with its steampunk spectacle Kurios—Cabinet of Curiosities (refer to listing, page 18) in tow. Situated under the iconic blue-and-yellow tent at Suffolk Downs in East Boston from May 26–July 10, the show unfolds as the Seeker, an eccentric inventor, discovers a hidden world when his curios come to life as outlandish, benevolent characters. The dazzling set packed with Industrial Age-inspired creations has been described by set designer Stéphane Roy as “Jules Verne meets Thomas Edison in an alternate reality, out of time.”

With a record-breaking amount of props for the troupe and a contingent of 116 performers from 22 different countries, this production is one of Cirque du Soleil’s most ambitious to date, so don’t miss out on all the amazing artistry, acrobatics and, above all, fun.

NEW BREW REVUE

Disappointed beer geeks may lament the hiatus this year for the beloved American Craft Beer Festival, yet something new and just as exciting has taken its place. The first BeerAdvocate Microbrew Invitational (beeradvocate.com/ micro) takes over the Seaport World Trade Center (200 Seaport Blvd., 617-385-4000, seaportboston.com) June 3 & 4 for three sudsy sessions. Billed as “a celebration of old-school, small-batch brewing,” the event highlights specialty brews— some making their debut at the expo—from producers both near and far whose output is less than 465,000 gallons of beer per year, including such regional breweries as Cambridge Brewing Company, Mystic Brewery in Chelsea and von Trapp Brewing of Stowe, Vermont, as well as newcomers like Lynn’s Bent Water Brewing Company.

Tickets are $55 (21-plus only) and include all beer tastings.

ROCKING CITY HALL PLAZA

Now in its fourth year of semiannual concert extravaganzas, the spring edition of the Boston Calling (refer to listing, page 16) music festival graces City Hall Plaza yet again May 27–29. This three-day blowout begins on Friday night with headliner Sia, followed by a who’s who lineup of current alternative rock, pop, hip-hop and electronic acts over the next two days, including Robyn, Courtney Barnett, Børns, The Vaccines, Lizzo, Disclosure, Haim (pictured), Janelle Monáe and Elle King. An addition to the usual two stages of bands is an all-local stage featuring five comedians and four bands. And for the hungry and thirsty, there’s something new as well—newcomer food vendors like Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Firefly’s BBQ, as well as a new wine pavilion and a special beer from Danish brewer Mikkeller crafted just for the event.

PRIDE OUTSIDE

Boasting a theme of Solidarity Through Pride, this year’s Boston Pride Week (refer to listing, page 18) kicks off on June 3 at 11 a.m. when the rainbow flag is hoisted at City Hall for the annual flag-raising ceremony. Early highlights include Pride Night @ Fenway Park on June 3, where fans can witness the Sox take on the Toronto Blue Jays at 7:10 p.m. VIP ticket buyers can even join a pre-game reception with Billy Bean, Major League Baseball’s first-ever Vice-President of Social Responsibility & Inclusion. The outdoor fun continues at Faneuil Hall Marketplace on June 4 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. for Pride Day @ Faneuil Hall, where visitors can meet Mr. and Miss Boston Pride and enjoy live music, a drag show and an afternoon dance party. And don’t forget the 31st AIDS Walk Boston & 5K Run, which returns to the Esplanade on June 5 beginning at 10 a.m.

STAGING HISTORY

March 6, 1770 may not be a day that lives in infamy, but the previous day, March 5, was notorious for being the day of the Boston Massacre, one of the seminal events that lead to the American Revolution. A new play by local writer Patrick Gabridge, however, recounts the aftermath of that tragic occurrence in the very building where the scenes depicted actually took place. Get an inside glimpse of the debate that raged among Boston’s leaders that day at the world premiere of Blood on the Snow (refer to listing, page 18), which is being staged inside the Old State House’s Council Chamber. Shows have been selling out, so get your tickets now before this unique marriage of theater and history closes on June 5. —Scott Roberto BOTTOM PHOTO: NILE HAWVER/NILE SCOT SHOTS

NEIGHBORHOODS

Massachusetts State House

Beacon Hill MAP PAGE 32 | F10 Strolling along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not uncommon to feel as though you’ve traveled back in time. Both eminently posh and utterly accommodating, this area has borne witness to much of the city’s storied past.

The State House—with its gleaming gold dome—sits on the peak of the hill where the beacon for which the district was named used to reside. In this neighborhood, visitors can also find the African Meeting House, which holds the Museum of African-American History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub, the inspiration for the popular TV show, “Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat of the hill, is lined with boutiques, restaurants, cafes and charming hotels. Locals descend ON THE the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street Green Line to Park St. Red Line to Park St., has to offer, adding to Charles St. the feeling of smallBlue Line to Bowdoin town charm.

PANORAMA

The Back Bay skyline at night

Back Bay MAP PAGE 32 | G9 Exquisite architecture and world-class retailers are plentiful in Boston’s most well-known neighborhood. The Victorian brick and brownstone residences that line the streets are not only beautiful, they’re widely regarded as the best-preserved examples of 19th-century urban design in the United States. Newbury and Boylston streets, where luxury shops vie for space amidst outstanding restaurants, welcome visitors and residents alike. Back Bay is also home to the iconic Prudential Tower, Trinity Church, Boston Public Library, the John Hancock Tower and two sprawling shopping malls connected by a climatecontrolled bridge. You’ll also find standout salons, spas, antique shops and galleries throughout. Nightlife thrives in Back Bay as ON THE well, where chic hotel bars, world-class Orange Line to Back Bay Green Line to Arlingrestaurants and ton, Copley or Hynes swanky lounges Convention Center abound.
