The Lawn On D Powered By Citizens Bank opens for the season on Saturday, May 21! You’ll notice that we’ve made a number of changes at The Lawn On D this year.

Our full calendar of community events will be announced soon. You can also find us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook!

Beginning on May 21, open lawn hours at The Lawn On D will be 7:00 am to 10:00 pm everyday. Lawn games and food & beverage are available each weekend; on Opening Weekend they will be serving from 12:00 pm - 10:00 pm Saturday and Sunday.

A big thank you goes to Citizens Bank, the title sponsor of The Lawn On D, for helping us bring you the community events that you love.

Also, welcome to Rebel Restaurants Inc. who is now the food & beverage provider at The Lawn On D! That’s right, Rebel Restaurants is the same entity that owns and operates the popular, local Seaport venues: Atlantic Beer Garden, The Whiskey Priest, Jerry Remy’s Sports Bar & Grill, and Temazcal Tequila Cantina. Check out their concession menu.

Another big change this year is the addition of private event spaces. When you arrive on the lawn, you’ll note the big tent from last year (now dubbed the Pavilion on D), but you’ll also discover a second smaller tent (the Signature Pavilion) that also boasts its own private lawn area. We’ve already had a ton of interest, so visit the Plan Your Event section under The Lawn On D page to learn more if you’re interested in renting space for your company outing, team building event, etc.

Lastly, we’re please to announce the launch of The Lawn On D’s new website!
