🤑💸 We can't believe THIS is free

🚨 PSA: $30 Kesha tickets! WHERE DO WE SIGN? We told you about Live Nation’s summer concert deals, but forgot to mention you can see our favorite recession pop queen for just $30 on the lawn at the Xfinity Center in July. “Tik Tok,” people!

Up first…

Now loading: Your cheap Boston summer. We’re known for sharing the best (and affordable) events around Boston, so we thought … why not put on our own (What? Like it’s hard?)

Here’s how to have the best Boston summer with your B-Side membership:

🏃 Will run for free beer! June 4 marks Global Running Day, so we’re celebrating with an easy three-mile run (yes, actually easy) with the iconic We’re Not Really Runners Run Club along the Esplanade. Not only is the run free (with a few fun surprises!), but if you’re a B-Side Member, you’ll get a free beer from Night Shift Brewing’s Owl’s Nest at our post-run hang. Sign up here!

💏 Alexa, play “Summer Nights.” We teamed up with Aeronaut Brewing to host our version of The Dating Game on June 6, the old school TV show where bachelors/bachelorettes (who just-so-happen to be B-Side Members) question three secret suitors. The event is free to all, with members getting a free 5oz pour. Bonus: We’re still looking for some suitors, so skip your Hinge date and come play with us!

🎂 Beat the Sunday scaries … with cake. Bake Off baddies, listen up! We’re co-hosting a cake decorating class with The Sugar Connection on June 22 where you’ll decorate a four-inch cake from start to finish. Learn to properly mix, frost, and pipe your cake, then top it off with silk flowers, edible pearls, bows, and more. Members get 15% of their ticket, plus an extra drink. These classes normally sell out, so grab your ticket now!

🏓 Get out of the kitchen! And into our pickleball party we’re throwing with VOLO Sports at their sick Somerville pickleball courts on July 19. Important: This will be very beginner-friendly. Expect a chill afternoon of casual dinking along with play instruction for pickleball newbs. Tickets drop next month, and if you’re a member, expect a sweet discount and the first-ever B-Side T-shirt!

🏋️ Skip your pricey boutique fitness class. And head to our FREE one instead. Faneuil Hall is apparently a big B-Side fan and is giving members a free outdoor F-45 class (like this one!) on August 16 (tickets coming soon!). Bonus: Members get free merch and a post-workout drink.

But wait! There’s more! Here’s what other member events we have cooking this summer:
