Our arts and crafts workshops are led by local artists. They're held Tuesday through Friday in July and August and run from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. These drop-in workshops encourage kids to explore their creativity through projects like mask making, crayon art, watercolor and much more. Supplies are provided, but you'll need to bring your creativity! 

This series is completely free and open to Boston residents. These workshops will take place in various parks throughout the City of Boston.

Registration is encouraged so we know how many supplies to bring (pre-registration is required for groups of 8 or more). Please email Shannon.murphy2@boston.gov to register.

This series is also weather-dependent. Check our social media pages for updated weather info regarding this series. Follow us on social media for the latest updates on events: Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Rain may have melted our summer plans, but don't worry, No One Mourns the Wicked.  We'll be back this fall-just as Popular as ever!

We're kicking off fall with a Wicked celebration - and you're invited to help us paint the town pink and green at our magical pre-show party! Come dressed in your most Wicked attire or as your favorite character for a dazzling costume contest, Oz-tastic trivia, surprise guest appearances and so much more. The fun will be unlimited and the memories will truly Defy Gravity!

Pre-show party will begin at 5:30pm. and the movie will begin at dusk.  Free popcorn will be provided while supplies last. No pre-registration is needed to attend.

The series is hosted by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department and title sponsor Bank of America with additional support from the Mayor’s Office of Tourism, Sports, and Entertainment.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
