Another successful event! Hundreds turn out for a beautiful day at Piers Park on the waterfront to celebrate the East Boston community. Entertainment and showcases by civic groups mark the day at the 36th annual event.
This large-scale community event fosters connection and encourages East Boston residents to engage with local small businesses, restaurants, and non-profit organizations.
The celebration is family-friendly and open to all, featuring food and refreshments, live entertainment, children’s games, music, and a variety of contests.
“We are grateful to continue the tradition of Eastie Pride Day and look forward to creating a space where all members of our community can connect and celebrate East Boston together,” says Liana LaMattina, Chair of the Committee.
