SEBA Summer Solstice

Passing on this notice from the SEBA – sounds like fun!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The South End Business Alliance (SEBA) is hosting a Summer Solstice Celebration Thursday, June 21 and Friday, June 22. Participating restaurants and retailers will have extended hours and offer special discounts, and raffles during these two days!!  Remember to SHOP LOCAL.

 

The two day event will be filled with fun and unique offerings from various shops, spas and restaurants, live music, and much more all day long. All retailers will keep their doors open until 8pm on both evenings.

 

Boston Center for the Arts will offer live music on the plaza Friday evening from 5:30- 7:30 featuring BatukAxe as part of the BCA’s Sounds of the Season Series.  It is also on the plaza that Boston Pedicab will be offering rides to some of the South End shops off the beaten path, such as Devi Home, Sara Campbell, Union Bar and Grille, Voila, and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams.

 

Patrons will find everything from signature summer drinks, tasty appetizers, or complimentary dessert with purchase of an entrée at local eateries, to retailers offering 10-60% off merchandise.

 

Additionally, raffles will be held at each location promising for great prizes - plenty of gift certificates and merchandise to be won, as well as special offerings such as Jonas Wannfor’s Kristall Chandelier valued at $1,398 by Design within Reach, or a one hour massage by Nami Spa.

 

The event is a great time to welcome the summer, visit the South End, and support local merchants.

South End Garden Tour

A reminder that the South End Garden Tour is This Saturday, 6/16.   This is a elf-guided tour of south end gardens, roof-decks and private back yard spaces.  This year many gardens in Eight Streets, including Berkeley Community Garden, will be included in the tour.  It’s a fun day, and a great way to help support Community Gardening through this annual fundraiser.

Pride 2007

A reminder that Boston Pride is just around the corner.  (www.bostonpride.org)   This year, the parade that usually passes down Tremont street will actually be assembling on Tremont street.   Given the new route, Tremont street parking will be restricted more than usual this year, and all of Tremont and several cross streets will close down earlier than previous years. And, since assembly is outside our door, there will be a LOT more people on the street and in local establishments.  More details can be found on the Pride website.

 

Keep an eye on the newspapers and parking signs for all restrictions.   And a happy pride to everyone!
