Open Streets Boston returns to Jamaica Plain, transforming Centre Street into a vibrant, pedestrian-only public space!

Sponsored by the City of Boston's Tourism, Sports, & Entertainment Office, this event reclaims the roadway from vehicular traffic to give neighbors, families, and visitors a safe, open setting to walk, bike, skate, and explore local businesses.

From Lamartine Street down to Lochstead Avenue, the neighborhood corridor comes alive with outdoor dining, local food trucks, interactive youth activities, and pop-up live musical performances.

It provides a unique, highly active community framework designed to promote healthy recreation, stimulate local commerce, and celebrate the diverse culture of Jamaica Plain.

Held on Centre Street (stretching from Lamartine Street to Lochstead Avenue) in Jamaica Plain, MA. Highly accessible via public transportation: take the MBTA Orange Line to the Green Street or Forest Hills station, or hop on local bus routes like the 39. Street closures mean vehicular traffic is banned on this stretch from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, making driving discouraged.

TIPS↑ top

  • The event is free and fun for all ages. Since the streets are closed off entirely to cars from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, utilizing public transit, walking, or riding your bike is the best way to get there. Don't forget to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring an appetite to support the local neighborhood eateries and food trucks!
