From Patriots\u2019 Day to the Beanpot \u2013 Boston offers dozens of iconic spring semester events. Read on to learn more about the most popular events to get students off campus and into the greater city of Boston during the second semester.<\/p>\n
1. Boston Marathon & Patriots\u2019 Day
\nSince 1897, Boston residents and people from across the globe have come to observe this time-honored tradition of runners completing a 26.2-mile route across the city of Boston. And, even better, all Boston students get the day off for Patriots\u2019 Day, making this one of the most convenient holidays for BU students to attend. Students have the opportunity to watch the marathon from any point along the route, but Boston University organizes a watch party at the corner of Beacon Street and Park Street!<\/p>\n
2. St. Patrick\u2019s Day
\nEach year, the Boston St. Patrick\u2019s Day Parade brings together locals and visitors to celebrate this iconic holiday with floats, music, and a lively crowd. The parade starts at the Broadway T Station and ends at Andrew Square \u2013 anywhere along Broadway is a great place to stand and watch this exciting tradition!<\/p>\n
3. Boston Ballet: Spring Experience
\nEvery spring, the Boston Ballet presents a multi-act showcase of some of its best choreographers and performers. The performance is a cultural experience completely unique to the city of Boston and offers students the opportunity to experience new styles of dance and choreography, ranging from classic to modern. BU students can purchase discounted student tickets, as well as day-of rush tickets, to make this unique experience more affordable and accessible.<\/p>\n
4. Red Sox Opening Day
\nRed Sox opening day marks the start of Boston\u2019s baseball season, and students from across the city buy tickets to celebrate the kickoff \u2013 as well as the beginning of warmer temperatures and spring weather. Opening day \u2013 as well as all the games that follow in the spring baseball season \u2013 is a great way for students to enjoy the warmer weather, grab a hot dog, and engage with Boston’s sports culture.<\/p>\n
5. Beanpot
\nEach February, four of Boston\u2019s best collegiate hockey teams gather at TD Garden to compete in the Beanpot championship. The four colleges represented are Boston University, Northeastern, Harvard, and Boston College, and students from each school come to TD Garden to cheer their team on in the final game. This year, the men\u2019s Beanpot will be held on February 2, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
