Social District Guidelines
Written by b87fm on 06/23/2026
Patrons are able to consume alcoholic beverages purchased in licensed establishments within two outdoor Social Districts in Downtown Boston.
The Social Districts at Union and Marshall Streets—located in Downtown’s Blackstone Block Historic District—and on Temple Place in Downtown Crossing are open through July 31.
They are designed to create a vibrant, safe, and welcoming experience for everyone. Follow these guidelines to enjoy the Districts, support local businesses, and help keep the areas clean and safe.
