5 Things to Do this Week on the South Shore (5/23-5/29)

There's lots of fun happening on the South Shore this week!

By Christina Skeldon May 24, 2022

I feel like just yesterday we were talking about April vacation and here we are, Memorial Day weekend! Is it just me or does the weather always disappoint every year for MDW. As New Englanders, MDW typically stands for the start of summer weather (although not really most years) and a 3 day weekend. Let's be sure to remember what Memorial Day is really about and to remember and honor all of the moms, dads, brothers, and sisters who paid the ultimate sacrifice. 

Rain or shine, we have a lot on the event calendar so make sure you check it out. Below are your top 5 picks!


1. Blakeman's 2022 Opening Weekend!, all weekend
