Celebrate Eastie Week

The East Boston community and Boston Harbor Now are proud to announce the return of Eastie Week, the beloved multi-week celebration of East Boston’s vibrant culture, community, music, and arts. Now in its 12th year, Eastie Week 2025 will take place from Sunday, July 13, through Sunday, July 27, with more than two dozen events hosted throughout the neighborhood by local artists, community groups, cultural organizations, and youth programs. You can get all the fun details here! 

Taste of Eastie

East Boston Main Streets will host the 29th Annual “Taste of Eastie” on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025, from 6:00-9:00 pm at the Tall Ship, weather permitting (rain date July 29, 2025). For 29 years, Taste of Eastie has been East Boston’s largest charity dining event. It sells out every year, with attendees eager to try a “taste” of Eastie’s diverse local cuisine and support Eastie. We highly recommend arriving early to avoid missing out on any of the amazing food. Tickets are $60 and you can purchase your ticket here!
