Boston Events 2026

Upcoming concerts, shows, sports, comedy, festivals, and live entertainment in Boston and nearby cities.

Trying to see what’s going on in Boston in 2026? The city doesn’t slow down — concerts, shows, comedy, sports, festivals, it’s all happening (and yes, probably three things at the same time). Scroll the calendar to find events by date or venue and see what fits your plans. Whether it’s a big night on the Strip or something low-key for the weekend, there’s always something popping — sleep optional. New events drop all the time as dates get confirmed, so there’s always another reason to go out… or tell yourself you will. Last updated: April 16, 2026.
