Boston is about to become the center of the world — and Gabriela Salas is making sure our community is ready for every single moment of it.

In this episode of ¿Qué Pasa Boston?, host and executive producer Gabriela Salas sits down with Kate Fox, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism (MOTT), and Ángel Subero, Venezuelan musician and proud member of the legendary Boston Pops, to break down the most historic summer Massachusetts has seen in generations.

Three events. One summer. Millions of people heading straight to your city.

🗽 America’s 250th Anniversary — July 4th on the Esplanade This is not your regular Fourth of July. This year, fireworks share the sky with a breathtaking drone show — and Gabriela has everything you need to experience it right.

⚽ FIFA World Cup 2026 — Boston Is a Host City Over 3 million tourists are coming to the region. How do you get around? How do you protect and grow your business? How does your community actually benefit? It’s all in this episode.

⛵ Sail Boston 2026 More than 60 historic tall ships from around the world will dock in Boston Harbor. This is a once-in-a-generation maritime festival — and you don’t want to miss it.

In this episode, Gabriela breaks down:

✅ How to prepare for the massive influx of tourists — real logistics, not theory ✅ Which public transportation options to use on World Cup match days ✅ How to register your business for FREE at visitma.com and capitalize on the economic boom ✅ Why Latino representation in institutions like the Boston Pops matters — and what it means for our community’s future

This summer, Boston isn’t just a place. It’s an opportunity. And our community deserves to be ready.
