The Highland Street Foundation’s Free Fun Fridays program will offer free admission to the Arnold Arboretum on Friday, Aug. 2. This year, a record-breaking 60 venues are participating in Free Fun Fridays, with six cultural venues open free-of-charge each Friday this summer. Free Fun Fridays is a 10-week program, which runs from June 28 through Aug. 30. This is the fifth year of the program.

Note: Because of expected crowds, large groups are discouraged from attending on this day. Please contact the Arnold Arboretum directly at 617-384-5253 with questions.
