Monday Funday

The much loved Monday Funday community outreach program also returns, building on last year’s highly successful partnership with the Boston Centers for Youth & Families. The Lawn On D will welcome summer youth programs and thousands of campers from across the city for games and entertainment provided by our friends from the Museum of Science, the New England Aquarium, Animal Adventures Family Zoo & Rescue Center, and more.

As the stewards of Boston’s most innovative and active public space, we are proud to again deliver a diverse mix of free, high-quality community programming for guests of all ages at The Lawn On D,” said David Gibbons, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority. “The Lawn’s popularity continues to grow every season and we look forward to celebrating with our guests in an environment that is safe, fun, and educational.”

Bar in a Box

A key new addition this season is the so-called “Bar in a Box” which debuted during The Lawn On D’s winter pop-up Chillin’ On D. The full-service bar, created from a refurbished 20-foot shipping container, will be located on the North side of The Lawn On D near the Westin. The ‘Bar in a Box’ will encourage further activation of the full lawn and provide additional options for access to food and drinks while also reducing service wait times for guests.

“We are excited to be entering our fourth year as the premier F&B events and concession provider, and are ready to deliver an even better season”, said David Doyle, Regional Director of Rebel Restaurants. “The Lawn On D’s weekly schedule is once again filled with fun activities and entertainment to suit all ages. Mark your calendar – we look forward to seeing you!”

And of course, the Lawn On D’s most iconic feature, Swing Time 3.0, will be back with swing colors changing from blue to orange when in movement.
