Food, music, an unbeatable view. Sure, the ICA requires a trek across the channel, but make it there on a warm summer night and you’ll be greeted by a party.
Throughout summer, the ICA will host a number of different events series on Thursday and Friday nights.
On Thursdays, the museum has partnered with Berklee College of Music to present Harborwalk Sounds. For the 10th year, visitors can enjoy free music from talented young musicians. Here’s the lineup:
