FAQ

  • Yes! Take as many photos and videos as you like! We only ask that if the performers on stage are minors, please refrain from taking pictures and video at that time.

  • Contact us around December, before we begin planning the next festival. Then we’ll let you know more information about the application process.

  • While there are no chairs or seating in front of the stage, if you need accomodations, please talk to a staff member wearing a pink shirt and we will try to accomodate you.

  • The main stage is out in the open in the middle of Boston Common. In case of rain, please wear appropriate rain gear and/or bring an umbrella, as there will not be any covered areas to watch from.
