Nothing like a long weekend! It's an extra day to sleep in, to hang out with family and friends, or find something fun to do. What's even better than fun? FREE fun! One of the things I love about Boston is that there is always something to do, and this weekend is no exception. It's one of the things I like most about Boston. What we lose in being open all hours of the night, I think we make is having a really exciting arts scene. We rounded up some Free Things To Do In Boston this holiday weekend.

No matter what you're into, there's definitely something for everyone. We've included: some great festivals, there's a block party, outdoor activities, a parade, cultural events, movies, outdoor markets and more.

If you don't mind paying, there are also a lot of other options for you as well. You can check out some of those things HERE that include: The annual King Richards Faire, a Daddy Yankee show, a cocktail club, and more!

Another free thing happening this weekend is our countdown all weekend long of the 96 HOTtest summer songs.

Without further ado, here are the Free Things To Do In Boston This Labor Day Weekend.
