Bridge of Joy is coming to Charlestown – don’t miss the grand opening!

Mark your calendars — the Bridge of Joy Grand Opening is happening August 6, 2025! These interactive sculptures will be on view through 2027!!

Join Navy Yard Garden & Art in celebrating the arrival of three large-scale bronze sculptures by internationally acclaimed artists Gillie and Marc, soon to be installed across Charlestown. The project is presented by Navy Yard Garden & Art, Inc. with generous support from the City of Boston Mayor’s Office of Arts & Culture, alongside local civic and community partners.

Opening festivities begin at The Anchor at 5:30pm, with remarks and an introduction by the artists. Afterward, guests are encouraged to walk to each sculpture and enjoy family-friendly activities along the route — including face painting, airbrush tattoos, food trucks, ice cream, personalized poems, and a photo contest with a prize from the artists.

This public art installation is designed to connect both sides of the Tobin Bridge, long seen as a dividing line in the neighborhood. The sculptures — whimsical, joyful, and deeply symbolic — aim to spark imagination and bring Charlestown together through shared public space.

The Anchor kicked off their Watch Wednesdays movie series last week. If you missed it, no worries! Join them every Wednesday at 9 p.m. all summer long for unforgettable movies under the stars. Grab your friends, blankets, and popcorn — the summer movie magic has begun!
