Whether looking for an activity to do with the entire family, planning a night out with friends, or seeking the best workout in town, Derby Street Shops has you covered. With the official start of summer just around the corner, Derby Street Shops’ seasonal outdoor programming is already well underway and has a packed schedule of new and returning events and activities. From its popular outdoor fitness series Derby Street SWEAT and kid-friendly programming Summer Thursdays to the exciting return of Derby Street’s pop-up beer garden with leading South Shore brewery, Untold Brewing, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
The debut of Hingham’s popular outdoor beer garden “The Green in Partnership with Untold Brewing” was such a hit last year that Derby Street brought it back for an extended 2022 season. Now open, the beer garden is the perfect family-friendly and dog-friendly space to kick back with great beer, entertainment, special programming and so much more. The beer garden offers a selection of beer in a variety of styles, still and sparkling wine by the glass, non-alcoholic fruited seltzers and special “tap takeovers” by other great breweries in the area. After a day of shopping, guests can relax on an Adirondack chair, play lawn games, or grab takeout and dine al fresco on The Green.
Adding to the experience, The Green in partnership with Untold Brewing is hosting several events throughout the season and will debut a live music series featuring a lineup of local talent including Kevin Griffin, Mike McHugh, Eric Marcs, Blacktop Strut and DJ Sprino. Throughout the summer you’ll find community partnerships with local organizations, PRIDE month events, Yappy Hours with Polkadog Bakery for all of the social pups of Hingham, and much more. New events will continue to be added throughout the season and come fall, the beer garden will host a special Oktoberfest event and Derby Street’s fan-favorite Boos & Brews Halloween event. The Green in partnership with Untold Brewing will be open on select Fridays and Saturdays from 2pm to 9pm. 2022 Beer Garden dates and a schedule of events can be found here.
Those looking for something to do with the kiddos during the week will love Derby Street’s kid-friendly series, Summer Thursdays. Every Thursday now though August 25, little ones will enjoy a complete schedule of outdoor activities while parents and caregivers relax and unwind in the sunshine. This year, Summer Thursdays includes live music, bubbles, face painting and more with highlights like Bubbles & Beats with DJ Sprino, Luau & Lunch featuring a steel drums musical performance, an Over the Moon Parenting Music Class with beloved local music teacher, Miss Kim, Music by Mama Steph and more. The complete schedule can be found here.
It wouldn’t be summer at Derby Street without Derby Street SWEAT. Now in its sixth season, the outdoor fitness series offers a great variety of workouts led by the South Shore’s top instructors and studios. Back by popular demand are Barre by Jenn, Rev’d, and Yoga by Anna Paiva, and a Bocce League from VOLO Sports is an exciting new addition launching in July. Classes are offered Monday through Friday as well as on Sundays, giving guests so many great options to break a sweat each week. Check out the schedule and register for classes here.
Between SWEAT, Summer Thursdays and The Green in Partnership with Untold Brewing, Derby Street will once again be bustling with so much to do outdoors this season. All of Derby Street’s outdoor programing takes place on The Green, located between REI and Kohl’s.
