  • Monday, July 4, 5:30 pm – 11:00 pm – Community Boating SAILabration

    Community Boating will hold its annual fund raiser, SAILabration, on Monday, July 4 beginning at 5:30 pm at their boathouse on the Esplanade, between the Hatch Shell and the Longfellow Bridge next to the Charles Circle footbridge.

    Avoid the commotion of the masses on the Esplanade, yet preserve the spirit of camaraderie and the sounds and sights of the Boston POPS as you enter our gates. A summer cookout, ice cold beverages, family fun, and an awesome waterfront view of the fireworks. This Independence Day option is by far the best that Boston has to offer.

    People of all ages and from all places join us for our safe and festive party; this event is especially appealing to families as it offers a refuge from the chaos of hundreds of thousands that line the shores of the Charles. Feel free to bring extra non-alcoholic beverages, and snacks.

    Reserve your ticket now for the best seats. Tickets are priced from $75 ages 7 – 17, $125 for open seating, and $250 for prime reserved tables.  Tickets may be purchased online at http://www.community-boating.org/4th-july-sailabration-fundraiser/
    Purchases support the Junior Program and Universal Access Programming. Admission includes spacious seating under the fireworks, DJ and radio broadcast of the Boston Pops Concert, three Jumbotrons to view the conert, cookout, face painting, glitter tattoos, and photobooth.
