Free Outdoor Concerts in Boston: Summer 2025

So grab a blanket, wear some comfy dancing shoes, and enjoy Boston and all its talent with this list of free outdoor concerts in the city.   by Yelena Nicolle Salvador <a href="https://joyraft.com/event/berklee-summer-in-the-city-concerts-boston-421679">BERKLEE SUMMER IN THE CITY</a> Boston is home to one of the most prestigious music schools in the country, Berklee College of Music.
