Block Party
On Saturday, June 13th, the Bunker Hill Associates are proud to announce the 2026 Training Field Block Party — a free, fun, and family-friendly block party to celebrate the 251st Anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill and the 250th Anniversary of the Unites States! The event will showcase Charlestown’s rich history and traditions while bringing the community together for a day of excitement, pride, and revelry.
To complement the longstanding tradition of the Edna Kelly Doll Carriage Parade and the many other events hosted by the Bunker Hill Associates throughout Pride Week (June 7th – 14th), this block party will include local vendors and activities for the whole family to enjoy.
So please grab your friends and family and come out to celebrate on June 13th with us!
