Mass. summer stuff runs Last week June - 3rd week July (schools, closing)

I wonder if that's just tradition in my family in-law's town or is that all Massachusetts

Basically in the town summer activity depends on the kid's being out of school. Because of some schools that get out of exams mid-last week June, things open up last week June

Then comes July 4th weekend
Then, weather permitting, there's summer stuff and if rain it's cancelled


Last week July is usually the beginning of back-to-school sales, closing of the parks and pool and whatever else, the put away the grille for the fall... End of the Tanglewood concert season final goodbyes

New Englanders, being early to rise and plan ahead kind of people, August is back to school

So with that said, don't you think we don't make our summer long enough?
