The Highland Street Foundation announced today its sixth annual “Free Fun Fridays” initiative, a summer program that opens doors at no cost to visitors to many of the most treasured cultural venues in Massachusetts. This year, 66 museums and cultural institutions will participate in the program, an increase from the 60 venues that participated in 2013. Beginning June 27^th through August 29^th, between five and seven venues will be open free-of-charge every Friday for 10 weeks this summer.

“Boston has a rich cultural and historical heritage, and programs like Highland Street Foundation’s ‘Free Fun Fridays’ provide every member of our community with access to the state’s top-tier art, history, music and culture,” said Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh, a strong advocate for youth summer programming. “With summer around the corner, I encourage the community to get out and experience the best our City has to offer, and ‘Free Fun Fridays’ is the perfect opportunity to do just that.”
