We’re back again, Boston.
🍕 🪩 Best Day Ever is almost here. And because "we'll just figure it out when we get there" has never once worked for any friend group, we figured we'd make you a game plan.
👀 What’s on tap today:
Where to eat first
Activities worth putting your drink down for
Shopping that somehow ends with a full tote bag
The drinks, giveaways, and surprises you'll accidentally spend all afternoon enjoying
Up first…
YOUR BEST DAY EVER STARTS HERE
We planned the perfect Saturday.
🎟 You bought the ticket. You cleared the calendar. You told your friends, "It's going to be fun, trust me." Now, it's time to make sure you make the absolute most of it.
Between the local food, freebies, vintage shopping, interactive art, drinks, and live entertainment, there's a lot to cover at Best Day Ever. Here's where we'd start.
SHOW UP HUNGRY
Every day can’t be the “best ever”
🍕📲 But your next meal can come pretty close. Grubhub is bringing some of its favorite local restaurant partners to Best Day Ever — and once the party's over, they're just a few taps away. Whether you're craving Regina Pizzeria, Tasty Burger, Mike's Pastry, James Hook & Co., Pauli's, or another hometown favorite, Grubhub makes it easy to order food from local restaurants without leaving the couch.
Plus, restaurant orders over $50 come with no delivery and no service fees. That's a win even if you missed the freebies.
MAKE YOUR MARK
Embrace your inner artist
🎨🖌️ At Best Day Ever, you’re the guest artist. Stop by the community mural, brought to you by the MFA, where a giant canvas will come to life one brushstroke at a time as festival-goers paint it together throughout the day. No art degree required — just grab a brush, add your mark, and help turn a blank outline into one very colorful reminder that the best things are better when everyone pitches in. Looking for inspiration before the event? Stop by the MFA and see some great art (while taking advantage of AC).
LEAVE ROOM IN YOUR TOTE
Thrifting is cardio now
👕👜 One booth turns into five. Five somehow becomes 15. Thanks to Select, Best Day Ever is bringing a vintage market packed with more than 15 local vendors selling everything from retro tees and vintage jewelry to bags, accessories, and one-of-a-kind finds you'll immediately convince yourself you needed all along. Consider this your warning to wear comfortable shoes — and maybe bring a second bag.
STAY HYDRATED
*The fun way*
🍹☀️ Walking around a festival is thirsty work. Thankfully, Loyal 9, Magners Hard Cider, Tito's Handmade Vodka, Sun Cruiser, Sinless Vodka Cocktails, and Chattermark Distillers are keeping the drinks flowing all day long. Whether you're in a canned-cocktail mood, craving cider, or just looking for something cold between activities, your next beverage break is never very far away.

ONE LAST THING
There is no wrong way to do Best Day Ever.
Unless you leave hungry. Or skip the freebies. Or tell yourself you'll "come back" to the thrift market later. (You won't.)
🍕 Thanks for reading! See you in the pizza line.
💜 Special shoutout to Grubhub and the MFA Boston for helping make Best Day Ever live up to its name.
