A massive pop-up drive-in movie series comes to Suffolk Downs
Phase 3 of Boston’s reopening officially went into effect this week, and while local movie theaters are now allowed to reopen, the local chains have opted to delay throwing their doors open for now. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a night out watching the silver screen, especially now that Suffolk Downs (the former home of the city’s largest horse track) has launched The Summer Screen at Suffolk Downs, a pop-up drive-in movie series taking place every Thursday night through September 10.
What to do this month
Anytime: Binge watch Boston-themed movies and streams
Now’s the perfect time to catch up on some fun Boston-themed streams. Watch a legendary movie filmed in Boston, learn a bit more about the city, or check in on some recent shows from local chefs and celebs you may have missed the first time around.
The best of the rest:
Anytime: Next time you find yourself pining for a calming dose of fine art, click around and enjoy virtual tours of these top Boston museums and attractions from the comfort of your couch.

Anytime: There’s no excuse for skipping out on a workout, especially considering how several Boston gyms and fitness studios are offering online alternatives to their typical workouts.
