One of New England’s most popular annual music festivals is kicking off at the end of the month featuring more than 50 acts, but guests attending the 2024 Boston Calling Music Festival can also expect to enjoy food from more than 30 vendors.
While many fans anticipate seeing big name-acts such as Ed Sheeran, Hozier and Megan Thee Stallion, the food may be the star of its own show, with options from smoked barbecue and pierogies, to sushi and shawarma.
This year’s event spans over the course of three days on Memorial Day weekend — Friday, May 24, through Sunday, May 26, and lasts from 1 p.m. until 11 p.m.
The venue, Harvard Stadium, houses 30,323 people. With 30 food vendors to explore and tens of thousands of people to sift through, guests will want to check out this food guide to make navigating the festival grounds that much easier.
