Welcome Home, Charlestown!
Whether you’ve been traveling non-stop this summer and are finally back into your routine, or you’ve just moved into the neighborhood for the first time, Welcome Home!
Charlestown is one of Boston’s most beloved neighborhood for a reason – You’re close to all the action of the city, the community is vibrant, historic, and ever-evolving, there are folks who have been here for 90 years and babies who were born into the Ctown family two days ago, businesses and community members are cherished, you walk out your door and run into neighbors who love this place just as much as you do… the list goes on.
Homecoming Weekend is a chance for us to celebrate our pride for the neighborhood, being back together, and supporting the businesses who shape our experiences here.
