Traffic advisory for Greek Independence Day Parade

The annual Greek Independence Day Parade will take place in the Back Bay on Sunday, April 30.

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.

The following streets will be closed to traffic from Noon to 4 p.m., with the Boston Police Department making adjustments as necessary.

  • Boylston Street, between Massachusetts Avenue and Tremont Street
  • Charles Street, between Boylston Street and Beacon Street

  • Boylston Street, both sides, from Massachusetts Avenue to Tremont Street
  • Charles Street both sides, from Boylston Street to Beacon Street
