Open Streets Boston
Family-friendly, pedestrian-focused events that transform City streets into vibrant, car-free boulevards where people can dream, play, and explore.
Open Streets Boston is back for 2026, and we can't wait to hit the streets with you. We look forward to seeing you out there this season.
Programming registration for vendors and resource organizations is now live.
