For many years, there have been free concerts at Boston City Hall. This
program is currently known as the Dorothy Curran Wednesday Evening
Concert Series. There is a small stage on the north end of City Hall Plaza in
Government Center.
On occasion, a temporary stage is erected in front of the building.
The
concerts are scheduled from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Wednesday evenings. It's
best to arrive early to acquire the best "seats," which are the brick steps
in front of the stage. The concerts are sponsored by the Boston Parks and
Recreation Department. The plaza concerts are similar to the free
concerts at the Hatch Shell, which are
sponsored by the state Conservation and Recreation Department.
Boston abounds in History and the Arts! The city has a long history
of providing events in the neighborhoods. The current program is
called ParkArts and dates back to the early 1970s, when it was known
as SummerThing.
