This is a rain-or-shine event! Come prepared to hang out in the rain or create your own shade from the sun. In case of severe weather, we will make the necessary announcements. The safety of our patrons is our utmost priority. We will monitor the weather closely and share updates via social media and onsite.

Parking Near Lawn on D:
RSVP'd guests will have access to free parking at the convention center lot (BCEC). Simply follow our Map of Access to the South Lot at BCEC from the Regional Highway System to easily find your way.

We recommend arriving early as the parking lot has a capacity of 1,300. Once you've parked, a convenient shuttle service will transport you from the lot to the entrance of the Lawn on D. Metered parking is also available throughout the area. 

Avoid Parking Congestion, Take the T:

Take the Red Line, SL4, or SL5 to South Station. From South Station, take SL1, SL2, or SL3 outbound to World Trade Center. On arrival, go upstairs and follow signs for World Trade Center Ave. From World Trade Center Ave, head southwest towards Summer Street. Take a left onto Summer Street and then make a right onto D Street. Once on D Street, walk until you see us!

When you arrive, there will be two lines for check-in: one for the general public and a VIP entrance for our Boston While Black members and supportive Sponsors. Each guest will go through security to ensure everyone's safety. Please limit the number of personal items you bring to ensure a speedy check-in process.
