Summer on the Emerald Necklace

When the ground thaws and the picnic blankets come out, Boston and Brookline gear up for our signature series of concerts, movies and fitness in the parks! Summer on the Emerald Necklace is a season-long celebration of our historic parks. It’s our favorite part of summer.

2019 Season

Summer on the Emerald Necklace returns in 2019 with an expanded lineup of concerts, fitness activities and movies- the perfect way to celebrate the season!
