The Weekender: Boston's Saturday Morning Newsletter

Let us help you navigate life — and weekends.

Ready for the weekend? Us, too.

Let us help you feel more connected to Boston with our Weekender newsletter. We’ll explore local curiosities, seasonal festivities and fascinating New Englanders. The main goal is to make life — and weekends — more fun.

Every Saturday morning, we’ll send you an original story that celebrates what makes Boston special, is useful to planning your down time or encourages you to learn about communities in your own backyard. We’re talking about everything from guides to the best globally inspired desserts and surfing, to profiles of local mini golf raters and snazzy swing dancers.

You'll also get WBUR's can’t miss features from the week, as well as tips and tidbits on what to do, eat or listen to while kicking back. Read examples here.
