HOW DO YOU PROMENADE?

June 8, 2024

The popular Charles Street Promenade Pedestrian Takeover returns this spring.

 

ABOUT US

WHAT IS A PROMENADE?

The Charles Street Promenade (CSP) is not a festival, it’s a pedestrian takeover of the Historic Charles Street thoroughfare.

Initially created during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic to safely bring awareness and encourage support of the many incredible small business along Charles Street, CSP has since evolved to include additional street-front activations, musical performances, and so much more.

Enjoy the day shopping, strolling, and dining, as Charles Street closes down to vehicular traffic from Saratoga Street to North Avenue for a full day of exploration and Downtown fun. Bring your bike, your baby, your dog, whatever you like! Planning for the June 8 event is still underway, so stay tuned for more information regarding programming.

While the veil of Covid is beginning to lift and masks are not required for this event, It’s imperative that all who visit the promenade do so safely. We ask that you please abide by the rules that each business has in place to mitigate the risk of Covid for its guests and employees.
