June 27, 2025 Traffic Advisory

Boston will implement parking restrictions and street closures for multiple events in July 2025, including the Hare Krishna Procession and the Fourth of July Parade. The Hare Krishna Procession, beginning at noon on June 28, will affect streets in the Back Bay, including Cambria Street and Charles Street, to facilitate the event setup. The Fourth of July Parade will start at City Hall Plaza on July 4, leading to closures on Congress Street, State Street, and Devonshire Street, particularly around the Old State House. In Dorchester, temporary parking restrictions will secure public safety at the Franklin Field Housing Development on the evening of July 4. Residents and attendees are advised to use alternative transportation methods, such as walking, biking, or public transit, to avoid disruptions.

The MBTA recommends round-trip tickets for a smoother experience. These measures aim to enhance public safety and manage traffic effectively during the festive period. The events underscore Boston's vibrant community engagement and cultural celebrations.
