Time for Four Corners Weekend; music and food fill out the menu

Four Corners Main Streets and the Greater Four Corners Action Coalition will host Four Corners Weekend this Friday, June 25 through Sunday, June 27, with a three day lineup of events including food, music, and family fun.

Festivities will kick off with a Fish Fry Friday from 5-8 p.m. at The Cornerstone (Washington and Bowdoin Streets), with music from Branches Caribbean steel band. Guests are encouraged to come early and bring a chair.

Four Corners Weekend will continue Saturday morning with a pop-up market from 10am-1pm at the Four Corners commuter rail station parking lot. That event will be followed by Family Fun and BBQ from 1-3:30 p.m. at Ripley Playground. Saturday’s celebration will conclude with Dining Under the Stars from 6-9 p.m. at Mother’s Rest Park. There will be music and food.

On Sunday, Pastor Wilfred Reid will lead a Morning Open Air Worship at 11:30 a.m. at Light of the World Empowerment Center (275 Washington St.) The weekend will wrap up with History of Four Corners, a Zoom presentation hosted by Earl Taylor of the Dorchester Historical Society, at 7 p.m.

Four Corners Main Streets president Marcos Beleche explained that the reason for the weekend long celebration--which in the past has only been a single day event--is to support local businesses, artists, and entrepreneurs, raise awareness of neighborhood resources like the commuter line stop and Mother’s Rest Park, which is due to be redesigned, and to “celebrate the neighborhood’s resilience as it comes out of Covid.” The weekend’s events will also include a free Covid vaccination clinic run by Codman Square Health Center for those who have not had a chance or didn’t know how to get a vaccine.

All events are free and open to the public. For more information contact Greater Four Corners Action Coalition at (617) 436-0289 or myraduran@aol.com.
