Royal Wedding Viewing Party & Breakfast
Fairmont Copley Plaza and Boston Weddings cordially invite you to attend a Royal Wedding Viewing Party & Breakfast on Saturday, May 19, from 6:30–9:30 a.m., to celebrate the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The nuptials and all the pomp and ceremony will be broadcasted live in the hotel’s elegant Ballroom while guests indulge in a full English (and American!) breakfast, plenty of tea and scones, and wedding cake to commemorate the occasion. A champagne bar will open at 8 a.m. to toast the happy couple as they embark on a horse-drawn carriage procession through the streets of Windsor, offering Bollinger champagne and traditional British cocktails such as Pimm’s Cup and Bramble.
Guests are highly encouraged to arrive fascinator-ready and dress to impress in traditional wedding wear suited for a royal gathering. A raffle at the party will award a grand prize to one lucky attendee – a two night stay in a Junior Suite at The Savoy in London, Fairmont Copley Plaza’s iconic sister property, inclusive of full English breakfast and a traditional Afternoon Tea. A photo experience will be in the room for guests to capture their own royal moments throughout the morning – red telephone booth, life-size cutouts of Royal family members and more!
The world’s fastest athletes are coming to Back Bay on June 16.
The adidas Boost Boston Games and Back Bay Mile race will be on June 16, bringing world-class athletes to compete in and around Copley Square.
Back Bay Mile
The first-annual adidas Boost Back Bay Mile is a road race that will test your speed in the heart of Boston. The course takes you down Newbury Street to Gloucester Street, and then turns down Boylston Street to the finish line on the specially constructed sprint track that features the same surface you saw at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. As part of the adidas Boost Boston Games, the five-lane track will have Olympic and World Champion track athletes competing at the conclusion of the mile races. This road mile welcomes all ages and abilities to participate.
Boost Boston Games
With an elevated straight track constructed along Boylston Street between Exeter and Clarendon Streets, the world’s fastest men and women will sprint down to Copley Square, wowing fans and breaking records as the viewing public watches from only feet away from the track.
VIP seats just after the finish sell for $125 and come with an adidas shirt, food and beverage and a $50 adidas gift card.

The French Cultural Center presents an evening of French and Bostonian composers.
American artists Matthew Hoch (baritone) and Aaron Larget-Caplan (guitar) present an Art Song Recital by French and American composers, including a world premiere by Boston composer Francine Trester.
The concert is a journey from a poetic French café and countryside, to the gardens and landscapes of Spain and America. This concert marks the celebration of Larget-Caplan’s recent award from the Société Académique Arts–Sciences–Lettres. It will be a dramatic and intimate event by two splendid artists.
Composers: Reynaldo Hahn, Roland Dyens, Joaquin Rodrigo, John Cage, Matyas Seiber, and Francine Trester.
