2. Celtics Summer League Showcase
Date: July 15–17, 2026 | Auerbach Center, Boston

You'll see draft picks, second-year players, and hopefuls compete in scrimmages and skills challenges. It's an intimate, high-energy event right in the Celtics' practice facility. Parking near the Auerbach Center is limited, so consider the MBTA's Orange Line to Sullivan Square or the Green Line to Lechmere, then a short rideshare. Grab your passes now at Higs Tickets to avoid the box office lines and marked-up resale prices.
3. Red Sox vs. New York Yankees
Dates: July 18–20, 2026 | Fenway Park
The rivalry is real, and this three-game weekend series is always the hottest ticket of the summer. Expect a packed Fenway with playoff implications already in the air.

Higs Tickets offers a wide selection of Red Sox home game tickets, including the Yankees series, with no hidden fees. Beat the game-day rush by picking up your tickets at our downtown office or ordering online for instant delivery.
4. Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Dates: July 14–26, 2026 | Citizens Bank Opera House
Baz Luhrmann's cinematic spectacle comes alive on stage in a whirlwind of pop hits, dazzling costumes, and breathtaking choreography. The touring production has been a smash hit, and Boston is its latest stop. Evening and matinee performances are available, but prime seats are selling fast. The Opera House is easily accessible via the Red and Orange Lines at Downtown Crossing. For the best orchestra and mezzanine options without the sticker shock of service fees, grab your tickets through Higs Tickets.
5. The Great Gatsby – A New Musical
Dates: July 21 – August 2, 2026 | Boston Opera House
Experience the Jazz Age like never before as this original musical adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel arrives in Boston for a limited engagement. With a soaring score and lavish production design, it's already generating Tony buzz. The Boston Opera House is a jewel of the Theater District, and the surrounding streets offer plenty of pre-show dining. Arrive early to enjoy the ambiance. Secure your seats now via Higs Tickets. Our no-fee policy means you'll pay exactly what you see, no surprises at checkout.
6. Noah Kahan at Fenway Park
Date: July 25, 2026 | Fenway Park
Vermont's own folk-pop sensation returns to New England for a landmark stadium show. Kahan's deeply personal lyrics and anthemic sound have made him one of the most beloved artists in the region, and playing at Fenway is a homecoming of epic proportions. Given the demand, tickets will be scarce. Parking around Fenway is notoriously tight, so using the Kenmore Square T stop or the commuter rail to Yawkey Way is highly recommended. Higs Tickets has a limited number of verified tickets available. Buy now before inventory vanishes.
7. Shakira at TD Garden
Date: July 28, 2026 | TD Garden
The global superstar brings her electrifying Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour to Boston for one night only. Expect a high-octane show filled with hits like 'Hips Don't Lie,' 'Whenever, Wherever,' and new material. TD Garden is our backyard, literally. Our office at 59 Causeway Street is directly across the street, so you can pick up your tickets before the show and grab a bite at nearby North Station. Avoid the long will-call queues and the sticker shock of third-party fees by choosing Higs Tickets for your Shakira experience.
