“Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable; and let it come! I repeat, Sir, let it come!”
– Patrick Henry
Here, in the cradle of the Revolution, we know how to celebrate the Fourth–with Boston Harborfest. Over 200 events in 6 days, highlighting the very best of what historic–and modern–Boston has to offer, from tall ship sailing adventures, dinner cruises, and great music to walking tours and historical reenactments. Bring the kids for the Tea Tax Debate and Colonial Childrens’ Faire, and
make it a date for the Tall Ship Sunset Sail, followed by Rum & Revolution at the Central Wharf with colonial tavern songs.
And where better to set up, well, camp than at the Kendall Hotel? A historic landmark in its own right, the Kendall Hotel at the Engine 7 Firehouse in Cambridge is perfectly located for the whole Boston extravaganza–in the heart of Cambridge, just steps from the T, and just over a mile from Faneuil Hall. Browse through our rooms, and take a look at our current specials! From the Freedom Ride Special to the Red Sox Package, we have what it takes to make your trip to Boston extraordinary.
