Although we’re sad to bid farewell to to the last month of summer, The Fenway Alliance is welcoming Fall with open arms as we prepare for our annual Opening Our Doors. The festival will take place on October 13th, 2014 (Columbus Day), and we hope that you take the last day of your long weekend to feed your cultural appetite with the Fenway Cultural District. Did we mention it’s FREE? The day is jam packed with a variety of creative activities, ranging from storytelling and poetry, music and theatre, public art installations and historic tours, to even the unthinkable — like indoor kite flying.
The Kick-Off Ceremony will begin at 10 AM at the Christian Science Plaza in Boston, located near the intersection of Huntington Ave. and Mass. Ave. The Ceremony will feature a thrilling performance by the Boston Children’s Chorus, a Kids Parade led by the Hot Tamale Brass Band, and what other than free cupcakes from Oakleaf Cakes. After the Kick-Off, the Fenway is yours to explore for the remainder of the day.
Opening Our Doors has something for everyone, whether you’re a family of five with children home from school, or a group of 20-somethings looking for something to do with your friends on your day off. Look forward to activities like:
- Free admission to several of Boston’s finest museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and MassArt and local art galleries
- Art-making activities with sparc! the Artmobile an initiative of the Center for Art and Community Partnerships of MassArt
