Dorchester Art Project and Open Streets
2023-09-17 10:00 - 15:30 | MA
Join us as we activate our beautiful Dorchester Avenue with love & creativity.
About the initiative:
Open Streets Boston events help people experience streets as public spaces where communities thrive. City streets transform into vibrant, pedestrian-friendly boulevards where people can dream, play, and explore.
During these free, family-friendly events, Open Streets Boston will temporarily close major thoroughfares to car traffic. This opens them to people biking, walking, rolling, and connecting with neighbors and local businesses.
This collaboration is made possible in partnership w/ @openstsboston
