Be among the first to witness Boston’s most exciting new historic experience before it opens to the public on July 2nd. Step into the moment when voices rose, actions followed, and a little ruckus changed the course of history.

Doors open at 6:30 PM. The program kicks off at 7:30 PM and will run for approximately one hour. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the program starts to reserve your seat. Guests will enjoy food and drinks by Chef Dave’s, connect with fellow attendees, and celebrate America's 250th. To preserve the integrity of the experience, late entry will not be permitted once Ruckus! has started. Guests arriving after 8:00 PM will be admitted following the conclusion of the performance.
