Fort Point Music Series
Every Wednesday evening, from July 11-Aug. 1, the Fort Point neighborhood will come alive with the Fort Point Music Series, a schedule showcasing emerging artists on the music scene. The series also features an affordable catered menu, making for a nice mid-week outing on the wharf in front of the Boston Children’s Museum, which is the sponsor of the free concert appearances. Even though the Boston Children Musesum presents the series, it should be noted that concerts have been planned to be geared to a more adult audience.
On a side note, the museum will be closed during each scheduled event this summer.
