Beacon Hill Art Walk Returns For 2025

BOSTON, MA — A unique arts celebration is set to return to Boston on June 1 as the Beacon Hill Art Walk returns.

The walk takes over the quiet streets and alleys of the cobblestoned neighborhood, transforming it into an art gallery where walls and gardens become display areas.

There is no cost to attend the Art Walk, which runs from noon to 6 p.m. rain or shine.

Created in 1990, the Beacon Hill Art Walk takes place in the nooks and crannies of Beacon Hill’s North Slope as residents open up their private gardens, alleyways and courtyards and allow artists to display and sell their artwork.

It is a chance for visitors to tour the private spaces of Beacon Hill while viewing original, handmade artwork. Thousands of people attend each year.

Around 50 artists usually participate, with a variety of styles, media and subject matter, officials said.

“This event gets better and better every single year. It is incredible to see what the artists come up with as they hone and perfect their vision,” said Jen Matson, a Beacon Hill Art Walk Organizer. “The walk is the perfect way to kick off summer in Boston and we look forward to seeing everyone there.”

Visitors hoping to get the most out of the art walk are encouraged to start at either 135 Charles St. or the corner of Cambridge and West Cedar Street, officials said.

The Beacon Hill Art Walk will take place Sunday, June 1, in Beacon Hill’s North Slope
