Noah Kahan’s four consecutive sold-out shows at Fenway Park last month did more than mark a career milestone — they underscored Boston’s growing power as one of the country’s most compelling live-entertainment destinations. And now, tourism organization Meet Boston is hoping the singer’s recent stint can help propel even more visitors to Beantown.

Boston has been energized by a wave of major cultural moments this summer. Think World Cup excitement (marked by the arrival of devoted Scottish Tartan Army soccer fans); America 250 celebrations; and the return of the Tall Ships, to name a few. Together, these events have helped position the city as a vibrant destination for visitors, fans, and artists alike. Kahan’s Fenway run added a distinctly New England soundtrack to that momentum.
