Eastie Week is a celebration of the rich and vibrant community of East Boston – its people, history, culture, music, and art. The Eastie community has a long tradition of coming together and this year in the face of many challenges, representatives from over two dozen cultural organizations, private institutions, and civic partners have organized to bring much needed “safe joy” to the community. In honor of the seventh annual Eastie Week celebration, we’re proud to present this year’s programming calendar and hope you’ll come experience some of the joyful activities Boston’s most dynamic neighborhood has to offer.
In an effort to keep our community safe and healthy, Eastie Week 2020 events have been planned in either a virtual format or with limited capacity to allow for proper social distancing in accordance with State and City mandates and the CDC public health guidelines. Face coverings are required for all in-person events and registration must be made in advance. Please contact info@bostonharbornow.org with any questions.
