Guide to the Biggest Boston Events in April 2022
Boston in April is packed with exciting events you do not want to miss if you are planning a trip to this boldly beautiful city. If you're traveling with family, they'll love exploring downtown with its incredible restaurants, lively events, and historic attractions. From witnessing the Boston Marathon to watching Patriots' Day reenactments and cheering at Fenway Park on opening day, do not miss these five incredible Boston events in April.
THE BOSTON MARATHON 2022
Join over 31,500 elite runners from across the globe and test your stamina as you participate in or watch the Patriots Day Race, one of the city's biggest events. Challenge yourself as you jog through "Heartbreak Hill." Watching the event is even more fun! Book your tickets for Monday, April 18.
JOHN HANCOCK SPORTS AND FITNESS EXPO 2022
Do not forget to visit the Hynes Convention Center between April 15-17 to witness this free Expo. Fulfill your love for running by arriving a few days early for the "best runner's expo in the country" per Runner's World magazine. Shop running gear from the Adidas Boston Marathon shop and make the most of this event at 900 Boylston Street.
RED SOX OPENING DAY
There's nothing quite like baseball season in Boston. Get in town before Patriots Day (April 18 this year) to watch the Red Sox play a home game. Experience the energy of Fenway Park. Best of all, the game ends about the same time as the Boston Marathon runners' jog past Fenway Park on their way to the finish line. So, you get to witness two major events in one place - brace yourself!
MARATHON DAFFODILS
Witness locally grown yellow daffodils on Marathon Weekend (April 16-18 this year) along the Hopkinton to Copley Square, a 26-mile route of the Boston Marathon as a reminder of the 2013 tragedy and the city's resilience. Watch them engulf the city, from Back Bay to Esplanade and the Public Garden. Remember an important lesson as you see the tulips smiling at you - recovery follows loss.
BOSTON SHOWS AND THEATER EVENTS FOR APRIL
From watching "To Kill a Mockingbird" at the Boston Opera House April 5-17 to appreciating the Shen Yun Performing Arts at Wang Theatre between April 2-10, you won't want to miss out on all the best entertainment during your stay in Boston.
