Getting There
Directions
The Boston Local Food Festival will be held on The Rose Kennedy Greenway this year and it is scheduled to be bigger and better than ever. The Rose Kennedy Greenway offers a great location for this year’s festivities as it is just a short walk from downtown Boston, and is conveniently located near South Station, Faneuil Hall, and The Aquarium. The festival will take place in the Wharf District and American Heritage parks. Instead of driving, we strongly encourage festival-goers to use alternative transportation, such as public transportation, walking, biking, or by taking a water taxi, to attend the event. For mapping purposes, visit The Greenway website here or see the map below.
Public Transportation
The festival is accessible by the MBTA on the Blue Line (Aquarium Station), Green and Orange Lines (Haymarket or North Station), and the Red Line (South Station).
Biking to the Festival
With bike lanes’ running right along the Greenway riding your bike is an easy, fun way to get to this year’s festival. Ride your bike to the festival and enjoy FREE valet bike parking provided by MassBike and Boston Collaborative for Food and Fitness. Bike Parking will be located at the southern edge of the festival on the Greenway right next to the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Other options include City Water Taxi, or a stop off of area tour shuttles at the corner of Northern Avenue and Sleeper Street. The Boston Harbor Tours and the Rose Kennedy Greenway also offers nearby walks.
