About


Open Streets Boston is expanding the car-free, pedestrian-only events to four neighborhoods between August and October. These free, family-friendly events temporarily shut down major thoroughfares to vehicle traffic so residents can enjoy open-air walking, biking, live music, games, fitness classes, and local business activations.
