Hosted on the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston “Beantown,” MA, the Beantown Beanfest™ is a free, all-day public event that will feature vendors from across the region representing different ethnic cuisines and products that feature beans.

Ranging from cocoa and vanilla beans to chickpeas and Boston baked beans, there’s sure to be a bean food that everyone can enjoy!

Enjoy free food and product samples, music, entertainment, and bean-themed games and activities for all ages!

Proceeds will support the Equalizer Institute, a social economic justice initiative of the
New England Legal Foundation (NELF) that will provide free corporate legal aid to entrepreneurs from
underrepresented communities to help them start their businesses.

Festival Background
Boston is known nationally and internationally as “Beantown.” But that established brand has never been leveraged to promote the city’s historic embrace of everything bean.

NELF recognized this glaring oversight and saw an opportunity to create a signature annual event intended to support the Equalizer Institute as well as provide the city with a fun celebration about everything about “bean” in Boston.

After the long pandemic quarantine period, and in light of the City of Boston’s recent calls for organizations to draw more people to Boston by encouraging more public events using the city’s parks and public resources, the time is right for a festive, fun event bringing folks from all walks of life together.
