Ahhh summer… (almost)… there's nothing quite like the combination of food, drinks, groovy music, and, most importantly people partying in the great outdoors.

This weekend, Downtown Crossing is turning into the epicenter of all things delectable and downright fun, with Boston's first-ever 'To-Go Cocktails' Block Party!

Time & Space
Step into an open-air food and drink promenade – a celebratory extravaganza hosted by the Downtown Boston Business Improvement District (Downtown Boston BID) in collaboration with the City of Boston. And the best part? It's absolutely free!

So, grab your family, gather your friends and prepare your palate because Saturday, June 3 (12-8 pm), and Sunday, June 4 (12-6 pm) are set to be a foodies fantasy.

Location, Location, Location
Nestled between Washington and Tremont Streets on Temple Place, just a stone's throw away from Boston Common, this free two-day block party promises to be a blast. There's 14 hours of live music in the mix, providing the perfect soundtrack to eat, drink, and have fun.

The Restaurants, Revealed

At the heart of this resurgence is the 'restaurant row' on Temple Place where you can order delicious food from ten local restaurants. It's a street party like no other, right by Boston Common featuring ten diverse eateries: Bogie’s Place, Boston Chops, Café 26, Café Bonjour, Democracy Brewing, Estella, George Howell Coffee, Herrera’s Mexican Grill, jm Curley, and The Wig Shop.
