The Lawn On D Powered by Citizens Bank, Boston’s most dynamic outdoor event venue, returns for the 2017 season beginning May 4 and promises to be the most exciting season yet!
The Lawn On D will continue to provide public programming Friday through Sunday, with some “Bonus” Thursdays and holiday Mondays. We will have monthly family-friendly events with lots of free activities/music for both kids and adults. There will be bands and beer-themed events (sponsored by companies like Harpoon and Narragansett), plus our infamous lawn games (cornhole, bocce, ping-pong, and JENGA®). We will also have some ticketed entertainment and fitness events. Unless otherwise stated on our website, The Lawn On D is open daily from 7:00 am – 10:00 pm (11:00 pm Friday & Saturday).
“The MCCA is excited for another great season of fun at The Lawn On D,” said David Gibbons, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority. “The Lawn will again feature food and drinks from our friends at Rebel Restaurants, plus a full slate of innovative programming, games, art, and activities to deliver a memorable experience for every guest, every time they visit.”
The Lawn On D’s most iconic feature, Swing Time, will boast a new look with swing colors changing from green to white when in movement.
In conjunction with our partners at Rebel Restaurants, The Lawn On D now offers a full-service bar thanks to our new liquor license. We will be offering a variety of liquor drinks, plus a menu of beer and wine selections. Rebel Restaurants has also updated their concessions menu.
Citizens Bank will return as The Lawn On D’s title sponsor for the 2017 season and will be launching a new element of the sponsorship called the “Bankers On D” program based out of the Citizens Bank Kiosk. Bankers On D are Citizens Bank colleagues who work as brand ambassadors at The Lawn On D on weekends. The team will help provide an exceptional experience for guests who come to enjoy themselves at The Lawn On D. From the kiosk, the bankers will provide information about the latest events happening at The Lawn On D as well as offer special giveaways. Citizens will also host Friday Community Days and cornhole tournaments on Friday nights starting May 19.
“We are excited to return for a second season and bring our Bankers On D to The Lawn On D as a way to demonstrate our continued commitment to the community,” said Jerry Sargent, President of Citizens Bank, Massachusetts. “Bankers On D will help ensure that the guests visiting The Lawn On D have a great experience.”
We can host events of all sizes ranging from a casual barbeque or team-building event to a high-end cocktail reception or networking event.
Last year, The Lawn On D established itself as one of the most popular private and corporate event venues in Boston with almost 90 events booked during the 2016 season. With 40+ events already confirmed for the 2017 season, it looks to be another strong year ahead.
To enhance the client experience when hosting private events at The Lawn On D, a number of new features will be added to the Signature Pavilion, such as more furniture, enhanced lighting, and expanded lawn space. New games like giant chess, lawn checkers, and large Connect Four will also be available during Public Programming and private events.
