Berklee artists provide live jazz performances at Spectacle Island, one of the Boston Harbor Islands, on every Sunday in August from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Berklee pop bands will perform on July 16 and August 13 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. as part of the Spectacle Summer Nights . Spectacle Island will stay open for an after-hours experience—an evening of relaxation, fun, and music in partnership with Night Shift Brewing and Brato Brewhouse + Kitchen.
Take the ferry to hear wonderful music and explore fun options for hiking, boating, or just laying on the beach. (View map .)
