Free Things to Do in Boston
.jpg){kind=link}
Nights out that don’t cost anything to get into. Some still want you to grab a free ticket or reserve ahead, and the drinks aren’t free, but the door is.
The ICA is free every Thursday from 5 to 9, and Club Café’s trivia and karaoke nights never have a cover. Planning further out? Try this weekend.
