Boston's Gay Pride Parade falls on June 10th, the same day as our Summer Market. The route map can be found here. This route (Clarendon --> Tremont --> Berkeley --> Boylston --> Charles) will be closed along with all of the intersecting roadways that cross the parade route. The staging/assembly area for the parade and floats will be along Boylston Street between Dartmouth Street and Hereford Street and this area will be reopened between 10 am and 11am. The parade starts at 11 AM on Boylston and Clarendon.
The Boston Transportation Department gives the following advice for those coming to our building: "access the area north of Boylston Street, east of Cambridge Street / Tremont Street and west of Massachusetts Avenue".
