An expanded 'Open Streets' program in which Newbury Street in the Back Bay will be closed to motor vehicles and opened to the public, transformed into a pedestrian street every Sunday 10am until 8pm each day will run between July 2 and Oct. 15, 2023.

The street will close to vehicles to allow pedestrians the opportunity to use the full width of the street. Newbury Street will be pedestrian-only from Arlington Street to Massachusetts Avenue.

Parking will once again be restricted on Newbury Street and adjacent streets with enforcement beginning at 5:00 a.m., and signs will be posted informing drivers of the change.

All businesses will be encouraged to promote the event on social media using #OpenNewbury and make customers aware of the car-free day ahead of time.
