Spring is nearly here and Boston is so ready.

As another New England winter comes to an end, Bostonians are rewarded with the city’s annual springtime delights: blooming flowers, Swan Boat rides, opening day at Fenway Park, the Boston Marathon, and more.

Local photographer Jack Cohen posted 9 reasons why spring is the best time to visit Boston on TikTok. 

@jackdarylphotography Why Spring is the Best Time to Visit Boston. You may be shocked to hear me say spring over fall. But hear me out. There is so much going on in Boston in the spring and city comes alive after a winter of hibernation. Here’s 9 reasons! 1. Return of the Swan Boats. 2. Opening Day. Yes, I’m Yankees fan but Opening day and the return of baseball is great. 3. Cherry Blossoms. The Boston area has so many places to see the varieties of cherry blossoms. 4. Marathon Weekend. It does not get any better than Marathon Weekend in Boston. 5. Charles River sunsets on crisp spring nights. 6. Lilac Sunday at the Arnold Arboretum. 7. Ducklings, real and sculpted, in the Public Garden. 8. Tulips everywhere. Boston is absolutely filled with colorful tulips. 9. The Weather. Often Boston is cooler in the spring that the suburbs with the cool ocean breeze. #thingstodoinboston #bostonphotography #springinboston #bostontravel #bostonspring ♬ Spring Bitch – Seaon Kyn
