Your best friend is the one who’s there for you when you need them, ready to go on an adventure and share in the fun. So why not plan a day with them in Merrimack Valley? Whether you see each other every day or only once a blue moon, the bonds of friendship are formed through shared experiences and memorable moments. You can invite them on an impromptu weekend getaway or a carefully planned day out and they’ll be along for the ride.
Here are some of the best things to do with your bestie in Merrimack Valley.
See a Show Together
Taffeta in Lowell is a music venue that offers tickets to live concerts, comedy shows, and more. There’s an abundance of 18+ only shows, so it’s a great excuse to leave the kids at home and enjoy a night out with your bestie. Purchase tickets in advance online, or buy them at the box office the night of the show. When you get in, start a tab at the bar and have a few drinks together as you rock out and laugh out loud with the crowd.
Take A Walk in the Park
Now that summer is just around the corner, people are coming out of hibernation and getting in touch with nature. Why not do that with your best friend? With incredible parks and preservation land like Great Brook Farm State Park in Carlisle and Acton Arboretum in Acton, you can plan a picnic or go hiking together. Use the solitude and serenity to catch up on what’s been going on in your lives, confide in one another, and reminisce about your friendship.
Enjoy A Day of Shopping and Fun
Some friendships start in your teen years, and there’s a nostalgia that comes with spending the day shopping, exploring new stores and experimenting with your styles together. Mill No. 5 in Lowell has a variety of great independent shops full of special interests, from clothing to stationary to pop culture. Pick out gifts for each other, get invested in each other’s hobbies, and just spend a great day shopping and bonding. While there, grab a latte and snacks at Coffee and Cotton, or an old-fashioned milkshake or sundae from Dow’s Soda Fountain.
Cheers to Friendship
On the second Wednesday of every month throughout 2024, the Inn at Hastings Park in Lexington is hosting a special wine tasting event at the Town Meeting Bistro. Wine-INN Wednesday is a great way for you and a friend to sample the delicious aromas and flavors of each month’s featured wine varietals. Compare what wines you both like and where your tastes differ – you might even learn something new about one another! You can even make a night out of it and book a reservation at the restaurant after the tasting with a bottle of your favorite wine, toasting to your friendship.
Celebrate years of friendship with your bestie in Merrimack Valley. Plan a day out or a weekend away that you’ll never forget, tailored to your interests. Eat, drink, shop, and make memories together that you’ll still talk about in your eighties.
