With or without a Boston area college graduation in your family, you need to plan your dining and travel plans around the area’s large commencement ceremonies. We're running this a bit early because so many people are making their way to last year's post.
Reservations at area restaurants will be harder to find May 14th through the 17th and scarce May 22nd to the 27th. This year Harvard and MIT commencements are a week apart. While this avoids a blockbuster weekend at the end of the graduation season, each of those schools is large enough to have an impact on its own.
To help you plan your dining options in May and early June, here are the dates of the major commencement ceremonies for your calendar.
Send us a comment if you know of a college or university graduation date that we missed.
