The Festival is located at City Hall Plaza, the last stop on the Parade route. Here you will find the entertainment stage, the Celebrity Garden (for the 21+ crowd!), over 100 merchandise, community, and business vendors, and the Family Fun Zone (ages 1 to 100 are welcome!)



Directions

It is strongly recommended that you arrive at the Boston Pride Festival by "T". Given the large amount of people present in the city for the day's events, traffic will likely be highly congested and parking will be limited.
