These fit together thematically: You don't have to spend any money, although you'll probably will. And maybe more than $10 -- or not -- it's up to you...

Greek Festivals
in Watertown and South End
- Whatever You Eat -
I love Greek food and spending time amongst Greek people. Not only has so much Western culture originated from their homeland, I also laugh when thinking about the family in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."
The food is made by regular people, so it's like eating at someone's home -- if you had to pay per plate...
Taxiarchae-Archangels Greek Orthodox Church, 25 Bigelow Ave, Watertown
Friday & Saturday -- 11am to 11pmSaint John the Baptist Church, 15 Union Park St, Boston
Sunday -- Noon to 10pm
Your best T option is the #71 bus from Watertown Square or Harvard Square.
Saturday -- 1pm to 10pm
Sunday -- Noon to 8pm
(They suggest taking the Silver Line.)
FRI 6/25 to SUN 6/27
Various Times
St. Peter's Fiesta
around St. Peter’s Square, Downtown Gloucester
FREE
Friday -- 4:45pm to Midnight
Saturday & Sunday -- 10am to Midnight
Good old-time cheesy Italian festival fun. I went a few years ago and had a really good time. (I don't remember the food being especially good, but it quite a spectacle overall)
Check the schedule, because you should see the horizontal greasy pole contest.
FRI 6/25 to SUN 6/27
Noon
Phantom Gourmet BBQ Beach Party
at Suffolk Downs Racetrack, 111 Waldemar Ave, East Boston
FREE / $5 on Sat & Sun
Friday & Saturday -- Noon to 10pm
Sunday -- Noon to 7pm
I don't like *paying* to buy food, but I understand that the Phantom Gourmet have expenses to organize this stuff. I'd like to think they've improved the event over the last couple years.
If you like BBQ, 6 out-of-town meat smokers and FireFly's will be there with other fun (e.g. a ferris wheel and lots of sand)... Go for free tonight or pay $3 more than regular admission to the racetrack on the weekend.
