The Boston Calling Block Party Series will be returning this summer, but this time to a new location. The after-work gatherings have been held in Downtown Crossing for the past 5 summers, but will be relocating to Dewey Sq. (near South Station) starting this Thursday, May 8. This week’s entertainment will be provided by The Swinging Johnsons. The events, presented by Shocktop and Radio BDC, feature a local musical act, food and affordable drink prices. The Business Improvement District (BID) originally started the events, but has recently partnered with Crashline Productions (the folks behind Boston Calling) and The Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy to revamp the series. The Block Parties will take place every Thursday from 5-8PM and run from May 8 until September 25 (weather permitting). All Block Parties are free and 21+. Proper ID required. Visit the Block Party Facebook page for more information and updates about future events.
