You know you're in the right place when you spot the giant mural – an annually changing piece of street art that is created in conjunction with an exhibit at the ICA. On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (from 11:30am to 6:30pm), the Boston Public Market sets up an outdoor farmers market, selling farm fresh goodies and specialty foods.
