We're thrilled to be working on an exciting new project that brings together history, culture, and creativity — and we'd love you to be part of it!

Our Goals:

• Help more people connect with Boston’s rich historical roots
• Celebrate the town’s European connections and involve our Central and Eastern European communities
• Create more opportunities for children and young people to get involved
• Deliver it all in a fun, vibrant, and memorable way

Why We're Doing It:
With your help, we're aiming to:

• Engage new people who may feel less connected to the local arts scene but love outdoor events and festivals
• Develop exciting seasonal events that draw visitors and showcase Boston's cultural heritage
• Boost local skills in festival-making to inspire even bigger and better events in the future

The event and programme of activities are possible thanks to Arts Council England, Boston Hanse Group, Transported and Boston Borough Council.
