The Constitution is Underway to Celebrate the Commissioning of Submarine USS Massachusetts
Something pretty cool is happening on the water this weekend, Dorchester. On Saturday morning, March 28, the iconic USS Constitution will set sail from the Charlestown Navy Yard at 8:30AM—marking its first cruise of 2026. The historic ship will be joined by 1812 Marines on board as it makes its way through Boston Harbor to honor the commissioning of the USS Massachusetts, a new Virginia-class fast attack submarine. As it passes by South Boston, keep your eyes (and ears) ready, a 21-gun salute will take place near Fort Independence, making for a pretty unforgettable moment. Best spot to catch all the action? Sullivan’s at Castle Island, of course. Grab a coffee, bundle up, and watch a little piece of history sail right by.
Wine Tasting
Each week you can experience something new at Boston Winery in Dorchester. Uncork something special as you swirl, sip, and savor an exclusive wine-tasting by the scenic Boston Harbor. Tickets are $21 per person and include samples of five handmade wines, which rotate on a weekly basis. Tastings are available this Saturday from 1pm to 5:30pm, and advance online reservations are mandatory. Learn more here.
