Color Flows on Winter Street
Mayor Michelle Wu invites residents and visitors to one of Boston’s busiest pedestrian corridors, Winter Street, to celebrate community culture in the heart of the city.
Color Flows on Winter Street is a multi-week event that will transform Downtown Crossing into a vibrant, welcoming destination for residents and visitors. As part of the City of Boston’s effort to reimagine our streets and pedestrian zones as safer, more engaging, and enjoyable for all, the event features public art programming, lighting, games, food, and live performances for all ages. This pilot program will test new approaches to street use and encourage long-term investment in this corridor, as part of the City of Boston’s Design Vision, led by the Planning Department. The installation will feature art by Massiel Grullón and food from local restaurant jm Curley and is being done in partnership with the Downtown Boston Alliance and Groundswell Design Group.
