Fall Fest & Fall Movie Nights
As we continue to celebrate creativity and community on The Greenway, we invite you to join us this season for a lineup of exciting fall programming. Our 3rd Annual Fall Fest will bring together local artisans, food vendors, and neighbors for a vibrant evening of crafts, fun games, and celebration.

Wellness on The Greenway
Start your morning right with free outdoor yoga and fitness classes offered by some of Boston’s top instructors. Whether you’re into Vinyasa, Zumba, or HIIT, there’s something to get your body moving and your mind refreshed.
Family-Friendly Fun
The Greenway is a playground for all the young and young at heart, all year round! The Rings Fountain is a must-visit for little ones, especially on warm days, and our carousel—with hand-carved characters native to Boston—is a hit for visitors of all ages.
Blooming Gardens & Pollinators
Don’t miss the late-summer magic in our organically maintained gardens. You’ll find colorful blooms, native plants, and plenty of buzzing pollinators—bees, butterflies, and more—making their last visits before the weather cools. It’s a peaceful reminder of the changing seasons and a beautiful reason to slow down and take a stroll.
Green Spaces to Relax
Sometimes the best activity is no activity. Grab a coffee, find a patch of grass, and just take in the sights and sounds. The Greenway offers beautifully landscaped gardens, shady trees, and plenty of spots to unwind amid the city buzz.
