Mass appeal: adventure, relaxation and rejuvenation, romance, arts and culture. Massachusetts offers an extraordinarily rich array of choices. So, think outside the....rock. (Plymouth, that is.) Of course, the Bay State honors tea, bays and parties! But, 388 other events beg the question: tried and true or new? You could start with the biggest: The Big E, Sowa Open Market - May and Cambridge Arts River Festival. And then strike out, independently, to sample all the rest that Massachusetts’ Festivals, Art Shows, Music Festivals and Craft Shows have to offer!
