Autumn is finally here and all around the city, it’s making its presence known. The air is crisper, the leaves are picking up vibrant shades of orange and yellow, and the slight chill has people buzzing with pre-holiday anticipation. But before we can get into full-blown holiday mode, there are fall festivals to celebrate, such as HubWeek and the Boston Food Truck Festival. 

5^th Annual HubWeek Fall Festival
October 1 – 3
If you haven’t heard about HubWeek before, it’s an annual festival founded by The Boston Globe, Harvard University, MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital in recognition of innovative thought leaders. The event is designed to help you connect, learn and dream with people who are changing the world with brilliant ideas.

The festival features over 50 keynote speakers with topics ranging from the future of artificial intelligence and space exploration to retraining your brain to take on positive perspectives.  

Following the speeches are fun networking events like happy hours, a silent disco, and guided meditation sessions. For a full schedule of events and ticketing, visit www.hubweek.org.
