New date for Neponset Day Fest— July 30

The Neponset River Watershed Association (NepRWA) has set a new date for their annual Neponset Day Festival: Sunday, July 30 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at DCR Neponset II Park in Dorchester, at the corner of Hilltop Street and Granite Avenue.

The public is invited to participate in the free, family-friendly event. Activities include free boating with Paddle Boston, kids’ crafts and games, music, food trucks, environmental exhibits, and more.

“We are very happy to be able to reschedule this fun celebration along the Neponset River,” said NepRWA Greenways Director, Andres Ripley. “Neponset Day celebrates our diverse communities and gives residents an opportunity to learn about the River, enjoy the waterfront park and Greenway Trail – and even try a free paddle on the water if they wish.”

The original date for the event was June 3, but was rained out. For more information about Neponset Day, visit neponset.org/neponsetday.
