The sun was shining during August’s ‘Open Newbury Street’
The second “Open Newbury Street” event of this summer was held on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Cars were prohibited between Arlington Street and Mass. Ave., allowing businesses and local organizations to use the entire width of the street for patio seating, fitness activities, and more.
Both businesses and attendees took to social media to share the event with their followers. Here are some of their photos:
