Open Streets Boston
Family-friendly, pedestrian-focused events that transform City streets into vibrant, car-free boulevards where people can dream, play, and explore.
The wait is almost over! 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.
