Traffic advisory for Greek Independence Day Parade

The parade and related events will result in street closures and traffic detours, and reduce on-street parking availability.  Those coming into Boston for the festivities are encouraged to take alternative forms of transportation, including Hubway and the MBTA.  Information on Hubway, the regional bike-share service, may be found at on the Hubway website and information on the MBTA may be found online.  For a faster return trip, the MBTA advises riders to purchase a round-trip rather than a one-way ticket.  The Back Bay is also a great neighborhood for walking both to and within.

Marchers will gather on Boylston Street, between Dalton and Exeter Streets.  Beginning at 1 p.m., the parade will proceed on Boylston Street at Exeter Street, left onto Charles Street, and end at the Boston Common.

• Boylston Street, between Massachusetts Avenue and Tremont Street
