NYE in the Neighborhood

Let’s celebrate the end of 2023 and ring in 2024! Here’s who’s hosting celebrations in the neighborhood!  (We will update daily, so check back for new additions.) Check out our roundup here! 

Jump in – 2024 – L Street Brownies Polar Plunge

We can’t think of a more shocking way to start off the new year by jumping into the frigid waters of Boston Harbor – talk about a jolt! Many believe it is good for one’s health, where one’s immune system can benefit from regular cold water plunges. This belief is part of the foundation of the L Street Brownies – the oldest “polar bear” club in America, and for over 100 years, the polar plunge has been part of the neighborhood culture on New Year’s Day!

Save the Date – Everybody Fights Grand Opening Celebration

Everybody Fights is hosting a Grand Opening Celebration of its new and improved location on Dry Dock Ave in South Boston! You can get all the details here! 

Let’s go skating!

Looking for a fun way to keep the kids entertained? Lace up the skates and hit the ice.  The Murphy Rink is now offering public skating.  If you don’t have skates, don’t worry, you can rent them! If your blades are dull, you can get them sharpened there too!
