Anime Boston brings tens of thousands of fans to the Hynes Convention Center and Sheraton Boston each spring for cosplay, screenings, guest panels, and an artist alley. Running since 2003, it is billed as the Northeast's largest anime convention. The 2027 edition runs the last weekend of May.
The history within reach
A biennial week-long celebration of historically informed early and Baroque music, built around a fully staged period opera production alongside about eighteen concerts and fringe events.
- Symphony Hall opens0.3 mi
The first concert hall designed using physics rather than instinct, by the Harvard physicist Wallace Sabine, who worked out the mathematics of reverberation for it.
- Filling in the Back Bay0.4 mi
A foul tidal flat was filled with gravel brought by train from Needham, a trainload every 45 minutes, day and night, for about thirty years.
Two pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line killed three people and wounded hundreds in April 2013.
- The first public library0.4 mi
The first large free municipal library in America, on the then-radical principle that a city should lend books to anybody.
