Can you believe it's already 2025? Us either! We're all looking for free things to do in Boston this January—to give our wallets a rest after a long December. Suit up in hats, scarves, and long underwear for First Day Hikes Cape Cod or Free Entrance Days in the National Parks. "Music at the Blissful" with Evan Haller returns to the Charlestown Library, and once again, guests are invited to attend the MLK Day Open House at the MFA.
These are just a few of our favorite things to do in Boston this January—We’re adding more events to our Boston Events Calendar every day.
