Charlestown Calling
Block Party
On Saturday, June 14th, the Bunker Hill Associates, in partnership with All Roads Charlestown, Inc., proudly present “Charlestown Calling” — a free, fun, and family-friendly block party to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill. 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 8th – 15th), this block party street festival, from the Training Field to the Monument, will include live entertainment, local vendors, and activities for the whole family to enjoy. And for those looking to carry the festivities into the evening, join All Roads on their annual Bar Crawl, hitting all the local revolutionary establishments.
There are two ways you can get involved to support this event:

In order to make the day special for everyone, we are seeking some fun, local vendors to staff the booths along the Block Party area. This is a great opportunity to expose the large number of local residents to your brand! All proceeds from the rental space goes directly into the community programming.
If interested, please fill out the "Block Part Vendor Signup" form, and we will be in touch with next steps for booth selection and payment.
Booth sizes are a standard 10'x10' area. You must bring your own table/tent. If you require electricity, please contact us.
