Dudley Square! On June 9th from 10 AM to 3 PM, we will be celebrating, exploring and critically considering the neighborhood through walking tours, open buildings, and film screenings. The capstone event, a dynamic forum, will challenge a diverse group of professionals and citizens to confront contemporary issues of outside development, chain retailers, and gentrification. Local residents and members of the greater Boston area are encouraged to discover, share, and engage in the discussions. We look forward to seeing you!

All events are free and open to the public. Some events have limited space, marked as such in the schedule below. We suggest that you pre-register to confirm your spot by emailing dudley@commonboston.org with the specific event(s) of interest.
