The Roxbury to Fenway Connector is a proposed 1/4 mile family-friendly bicycle and pedestrian connection between two of Boston’s most iconic greenways: the Southwest Corridor in Roxbury and the Emerald Necklace in the Fenway. The connection is a missing “Green Link” in the regional network of greenways called the Emerald Network. The event will be fun for the whole family! Highlights include guided walks along the proposed connector, a pop-up bike obstacle course, a helmet decorating station and free ice cream courtesy of J. P. Licks.
Lilac Sunday has been celebrated at the Arnold Arboretum since 1908. Tours of the lilacs and family activities are available from 10:00am to 3:00pm on Sunday, May 13. Picnicking is permitted on this day only, but food must be brought in to the Arboretum—no food vendors on site. The landscape is open from dawn until dusk.
Held every year on the Saturday after Mother’s Day, the festival brings out more than 1,000 people to fly kites, ride bikes, learn to ride a bike, and picnic. With food trucks, kids’ bikes to “rent” for free, affordable kites for sale, bike mechanics on site, and the beautiful scenery of Franklin Park, this event is not to be missed!
