Mayor Michelle Wu announced the Boston Open Streets programs for the 2024 summer season
Experience a car-free day filled with community fun at Boston’s Open Streets! During these open street events, the city will close major thoroughfares to motor traffic, opening them for pedestrian use only. This free, family friendly initiative transforms city streets into vibrant pedestrian zones, perfect for biking, walking, and exploring. Join your neighbors for a day of play, featuring food trucks, photo installations, exclusive performances and activations, family friendly activities like face painting, balloon animals, crafts, and more!
This year's program boasts extended hours: running from 10:30 am to 5:00 pm, new locations: now including Boston's Hyde Park neighborhood, and even misting stations provided by the Boston Fire Department and the Office of Emergency Management to beat the summer heat!
Immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of Open Newbury Street this summer! Explore eight blocks bursting with shops, salons, art galleries, and delicious restaurants from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm every Sunday from June 30, 2024 to September 1, 2024.
