BOSTON, MA - Over 60 events including musical, theatre and dance performances, walking tours, art exhibitions and create-your-own-art opportunities, plus films, chalk art, and indoor kite flying are yours to experience on Boston's single largest day of free arts, cultural and academic events! On this 10th birthday celebration of Opening Our Doors, the 21 institutions that make up the Fenway Alliance and 30 community partner organizations welcome neighbors near and far to enjoy an unparalleled array of free activities for everyone - families, couples, students and individuals.

Join us as we officially start the day with special guest speakers, performances by the Boston Children's Chorus, and help celebrate the Fenway - Boston's Cultural District - by joining us in a children's parade, led by the Hot Tamale Brass Band!
The broad array of activities truly offers something for everyone and includes:
