WBUR CitySpace unveils 2025 summer season

WBUR CitySpace at The Lavine Broadcast Center is pleased to announce its summer 2025 season, packed with concerts, film screenings, conversations and workshops that reflect the cultural vibrancy of Boston and beyond.

Highlights include the return of "Sound On," featuring live musical performances from local artists, and "Field Trip," offering hands-on classes from floral design to wine tasting. We’ve also launched "Set in Boston," screenings of iconic Boston-based films followed by conversations with WBUR film critics and special guests. And, this summer our Curated Cuisine events will celebrate New England staples including lobster rolls with renowned chefs Jeremy Sewall and Michael Serpa and chocolate chip cookies with local bakers Marissa Ferola, Maura Kilpatrick and Nicole Walsh.
