- Participate in lively games of bocce and corn hole
- Meet New England producers and try their high quality products
Now, you can get your Italian on with endless food, drinks, and free live music in our own Piazza all’Aperto (“open piazza”) just outside our doors! Find it on the patio at 800 Boylston Street every month through September 12th.
Entry is free; food and drink tickets are available in advance or at the door.
The Block Party Series will be held on June 14th, July 12th, August 16th and September 13th.
Ticket bundles (includes 3 drink tickets and 5 food tickets) are $35. Individual tickets are available at the door for $5 each.
