Show your pride at the South Boston Italian Pride event on Friday, August 18th and at the Fort Point Festival on Sunday, August 20th.
Join neighbors and friends at Medal of Honor Park (aka M Street Park) on August 18th from 4-7 p.m. There will be free food and entertainment, a magician, balloons animals, a bounce house, and more.
In 1897, the park historically known as Independence Square was set aside by the City of Boston for public open space. In 1981, the first memorial honoring Vietnam Veterans in the nation was constructed at Medal of Honor Park. Each September a ceremony to rededicate the memorial is held.
This year the park underwent renovations including improvements to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial plaza, ornamental fencing along East Broadway inspired by Victorian era fence removed in 1899, new play equipment, water play, site furnishings, lawn improvements, pathway and infrastructure upgrades.
If you haven't visited the park, this is the perfect time to bring your family, friends and enjoy the free festivities.
The Friends of Fort Point Channel invite you to a day of music, beer, games, artist vendors, dance performances, workshops, community groups, sponsored giveaways and more. The street party and festival takes place at Thomson Place and Stillings Street, which will be closed to cars for this community event featuring a Trillium Beer Garden, music by LoVeSeXy (Boston's premiere Prince tribute band), and a cornhole competition by Boston Cornhole.
