Last call for tickets to the third annual #BostonFest! Hit the Seaport TOMORROW August 7th, 5:30 to 10:30 pm, to celebrate working hard and playing harder here in the Hub.
Tomorrow, more than 2,000 will descend on Seaport World Trade Center for #BostonFest 2014. Yep, the party of the summer has finally arrived and today is your last chance to get in the door.
What will bring thousands of busy Bostonians to this celebration of living, working, and playing here in the Hub? For some it will be the entertainment. Between live music from favorite local artists, the one-and-only BostonFest Baggo Competition, and a pool tournament, the five hours of ‘Fest will be a jam-packed blast.
Others will be there to rub shoulders with Boston’s best brands, many of whom are hiring and will be there working the room. Plus, we're crowning the winners of the #CoolestCompanies Competition, spotlighting those local organizations whose perks, sweet workspace, and happy hours make them kings of company culture.
But to be honest, for me - and if I had to guess, for more than a few of the guests gracing the Seaport tomorrow - I’m in it for the food and drink. BostonFest will be serving up the best bites and bevs the city has to offer and I’ve already started daydreaming about the ‘Fest feast. Let me break it down for you. (Warning: mouthwatering may ensue).
As a seasoned BostonFester, I know to start the night by making a beeline for one of the FIVE bars serving refreshing summer libations. Check out the selection of sip-tastic drinks bartenders will be mixing this year:
Seaport Sip: Deep Eddy Sweat Tea Vodka, Water and Squeeze of Lemon
The Red Line: Deep Eddy Ruby Red Vodka, Soda and Lime Garnish
Play Harder: Deep Eddy Cranberry Vodka, Ginger Beer, and Lime Garnish
Boston Collins: Deep Eddy Straight Vodka, Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup, Club Soda and Orange Garnish
Not a fan of the hard stuff? Quench your thirst with a Rex Goliath wine spritzer. And don’t worry beer fans - did you really think we’d throw a BostInno event without some ice cold brews? Blue Moon will be among the pick of beers at the bar Thursday.
Once you’ve picked your poison, next stop: food trucks. Boston’s favorite food trucks, new and old, will be rolling into the Seaport tomorrow, giving guests quite the selection of mobile munchies. Feast your eyes on the BostonFest food trucks and my personal picks for what to order:
The Dining Car: Slow-Roasted Lamb Sandwich, get at me.
Stoked Wood Fired Pizza: Buffalo Chicken pizza for one, please.
Roxy's Grilled Cheese: Gotta go with the Green Meunster, a one-of-a-kind meunster, Guacamole, and bacon grilled cheese.
Mei Mei Street Kitchen: The Double Awesome, dur - a scallion pancake with local greens pesto, vermont cheddar, and slow-poached-then-fried egg
Zo on the Go: Original Gyro to the face.
Batch Ice Cream: Bourbon & Pecan. I’m not driving.
Drooling yet?
If you are as pumped about the food and drink situation as me, you’d be wise to snag a VIP ticket while you still can. VIP ticket holders get one free food truck meal plus TWO drink tickets. And we all know when you give a BostonFester a Roxy’s Grilled Cheese, they’re going to ask for at least two Blue Moons to wash it down.
So to sum it up: #BostonFest TOMORROW. If you want in on all the boozing, noshing, baggo-playing summer party action, buy your ticket NOW before it’s too late.
And if you’re looking for me, I’ll be stationed by the Stoked Pizza truck crushing a slice of Buff Chick and a white wine spritzer. Cheers!
