About Boston

Boston is a passionate sports and entertainment city where legendary venues create unforgettable live experiences. Fenway Park, the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, has hosted Red Sox games since 1912 and its intimate atmosphere and the iconic Green Monster make every game special. TD Garden is the home of the Celtics and Bruins, providing a rocking arena environment for basketball, hockey, and major concert tours throughout the year. Gillette Stadium in nearby Foxborough hosts the Patriots and Revolution along with massive stadium concerts and international soccer matches. The Boch Center Wang Theatre and Shubert Theatre anchor the Theatre District with Broadway touring productions, ballet, and comedy shows. The historic Orpheum Theatre and Roadrunner present mid-size concerts, while House of Blues in the Fenway neighborhood and Brighton Music Hall serve the club scene. The Boston Symphony Orchestra performs at Symphony Hall, one of the finest acoustic venues in the world. The Boston Calling Music Festival takes over the Harvard Athletic Complex each Memorial Day weekend. Summer is the prime season for Fenway concerts and outdoor events along the Esplanade, but the fall foliage season and winter sports make Boston a year-round destination. College sports also thrive here with Harvard, Boston College, and Boston University all fielding competitive programs across multiple sports.
