LIVE IN THE LAUREL
PRESENTED BY NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
Jan 31st & 3RD SATURDAYS APRIL - OCTOBER
The 2026 Live in The Laurel (LITL) series, presented by Northeastern University, promises a great season of outstanding locally-based live music and homegrown fun in The Laurel. Each month, explore some rising stars and local favorites as they perform in intimate venues along MacArthur Boulevard. Your summers won’t be the same once you add LITL to your calendar!
Visitors are invited to dine at participating restaurant venues during the shows or at one of the many Boulevard restaurants before/after. Stick around to browse boutique shops, catch a yoga class, pamper and glam at a salon, and explore the many public art works and murals. Welcome to The Laurel!
