Free pedicabs up and down Centre Street, a bubble party, DJs, musical performances, and a giant-sized chess game -- those are just some of the cool things that happened during Boston's first Open Street of the summer.
On Sunday from The Monument to Jackson Square, Centre Street was car-free. This was the second year that the city has led a car-free day on Centre Street.
Amazing how activated and alive our JP main street is without cars. #openstreets - should be an every weekend norm! @MayorWu @jfh @BostonBTD pic.twitter.com/yDbSqlxwBg

A lovely day for people to take to the streets for #OpenStreetsBoston on Centre St in #JamaicaPlain. Thousands from near and far walking, biking, scooting, and skating on car-free streets. See you at the next: https://t.co/d0JCnEbrEc pic.twitter.com/eyxUtETjyt
