Newbury Street is a mile-long, eight block stretch of shops, salons, galleries and restaurants. This famous Boston street becomes a pedestrian-only walkway on Sundays in the summer – and for the first time this year, in the winter. The street is closed to vehicles to allow pedestrians the opportunity to use the full width of the street, from Berkeley Street to Massachusetts Avenue.
At the end of 2024, Mayor Michelle Wu announced Boston Family Days, a two year expansion of the BPS Sundays pilot. Boston Family Days is an extraordinary public-private partnership between the City, corporate and philanthropic partners, and nine of our City’s leading cultural institutions to help Boston school-aged children feel at home in places that can expand their learning and show them the world.
