Open Streets on Sunday in Dorchester
Open Streets, the popular car-free event series is back in the neighborhood on Sunday! Similar to years past, more than a mile will be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic to create room for community and play. The half-day events will allow local businesses to expand into the street, and to safely make space for music, games, bicycling, community tabling, and more. This year, Open Streets will be in Dorchester, Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, Hyde Park, East Boston, and Allston-Brighton, with events throughout late spring, summer, and early fall. These pedestrian-focused events build on Mayor Wu’s commitment to reimagining our streets and making Boston the best city in the country for families. The timing of the Open Streets series has been extended from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This year, streets will close to vehicular traffic at 9:00 a.m. and reopen at 6:00 p.m. It will take place on Dorchester Ave. Between: Ashmont St. to Linden St. You can learn more here.
