I can't make it to all of these, but oh how I wish I could. So let me live vicariously through you: go, have a great time, take some pictures, and post them up here for me to drool over.
Fluff Fest - In Union Sq. in Somerville, where, appropriately enough, fluff was invented. There are fluff-themed activities all over the place and all kinds of specials at the restaurants in the square made with fluff, and don't forget the live music and the fluff baking contest. I had such an awesome time at this festival last year, just hanging out at the outdoor seating that The Independent puts out and drinking their fluff martini.
River Festival - Along the Mystic River by Assembly Square, this is an all around family festival. Music, food, games, and even fireworks. I've never been to this one before, and I think it's being put on by the developers of the new Assembly Square complex, but hey, there's nothing wrong with fireworks over a river. And it's definitely a good thing for bringing some life down along the Mystic, it's a great, beautiful river that gets ignored all too often.
Orchard Beach Autumn Celebration - In the Old Orchard Beach town Memorial Park. It's a little drive north of town, but totally worth it. The leaves are starting to turn, and Old Orchard Beach is a great little beach town. You can even take the Amtrak Downeaster to get there if you'd like. There's a parade, pizza competition, petting zoo, lobster bake on the beach, flea market, craft fair, dancing, music, all kinds of great stuff.
Phantom Gourmet Food Fest - Restaurants from around Boston and the country come to Landsdowne St. next door to Fenway and serve up lots of food. Your ticket gets you food, but not booze so bring some cash for that.
Beantown Jazz Festival - On Columbus Ave starting at Mass Ave, Berklee helps to put on this great outdoor jazz festival. Tons of very good jazz, fun kid-type outdoor activities, and even some food.
