What’s New at The Launch at Hingham Shipyard: Summer Fun, Dining, and Family Adventures Await

If you're looking to enjoy the best of Hingham living this summer, there's no better place to experience it all than The Launch at Hingham Shipyard. As local real estate experts deeply rooted in this vibrant South Shore community, The Charles King Group is excited to spotlight the newest developments at one of Hingham’s most beloved waterfront destinations.

New Businesses Coming to The Launch at Hingham Shipyard

This year, The Launch is buzzing with new energy. Three exciting additions are set to elevate the experience for residents and visitors alike:

1. Kids Empire: Indoor Fun for All Ages

Making its Massachusetts debut, Kids Empire is an expansive indoor playground designed for active play, parties, and family fun. Spanning nearly 10,000 square feet, this vibrant space will offer slides, climbing features, mazes, a dance floor, and even turf areas — perfect for energetic kids and happy parents. Expect birthday parties, field trips, and spontaneous rainy-day adventures to get a lot more exciting.

2. Salty Days Fish Co.: Elevated Seafood with Hingham Roots

Hingham locals will be thrilled by the return of Salty Days Fish Co., now opening a full-service restaurant at The Launch. Known for their fresh sushi and elevated coastal cuisine, the restaurant will feature a new cocktail menu and festive patio dining just steps from the harbor. It’s a welcome homecoming for owners Sean and Joanne McDaniel, who are bringing back their fan-favorite flavors with even more flair.

3. J.Crew Factory: Classic Style for the Whole Family

Just in time for back-to-school shopping, J.Crew Factory is opening its doors with fun, classic, and colorful fashion for men, women, and kids. Whether you’re dressing up for a seaside dinner or stocking up on wardrobe staples, this stylish addition offers easy convenience right in the heart of the Shipyard.

Don’t Miss the 2025 Summer Concert Series

A Hingham summer tradition continues! The beloved free summer concert series is back for its 15th year, starting June 27 and running every Friday evening at 7 PM through August 29. Gather your friends, enjoy a meal at one of The Launch’s many restaurants, and settle in at the amphitheater behind 18 Shipyard Drive for a night of live music by local artists—including newcomers like Brimstone Corner, a high school band making waves in the area.
