The City of Boston is gearing up for a series of exciting events that will result in parking restrictions and street closures across various neighborhoods. Residents and visitors are encouraged to consider alternative modes of transportation, such as walking, biking, or utilizing public transit. Information about the regional bike share service, Bluebikes, can be accessed online, while the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) recommends riders purchase round-trip tickets for smoother travel.
In Back Bay, the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge Road Race is set for Wednesday, June 18, 2025, beginning at 7:15 p.m., expecting about 9,000 participants. Streets including Beacon Street, Boylston Street, and Charles Street will have parking restrictions in effect.
The Pride Celebration will take center stage with the Pride Street Fair on Saint James Avenue over the weekend of June 14 and 15, 2025. This will lead to closure of the avenue to through traffic, ensuring a vibrant and festive atmosphere.
Charlestown will celebrate the annual Bunker Hill Day Parade on Sunday, June 15, 2025, while the Boston 10K Road Race will take place in Fenway/Kenmore on June 22, 2025. Both events will impose multiple parking restrictions and road closures to accommodate participants and spectators.
Additionally, Fenway Park will host two concerts featuring Hozier on June 23 and 24, 2025, which will also necessitate parking restrictions around the venue. In early July, preparations for the Fourth of July celebrations at the Charles River Esplanade will see further parking restrictions in the vicinity.
Notably, a variety of local events, from block parties to parades, including the Juneteenth Parade in Roxbury and the Pride for the People Parade in the South End, are set to engage the community.
These events not only bring joy and unity to the city but also remind residents to plan accordingly for transportation and parking. Boston’s event scene showcases its vibrant culture, and with each gathering, there is an opportunity for community connection and celebration.
