In 2023 we installed holiday lights and wreaths on Harvard Ave. Allston residents can now enjoy these festive decorations November to January every year!

Huge thanks to Boston College and the Allston Brighton Board of Trade for helping to fund the lights!

Self watering planters have been installed in Union Square and Harvard Ave. Thanks to Pollinator Networks and Flower Power Gardens for all the hard work with planning and planting, and to Harvard University for funding this project. We're happy to add some native pollinators to our streets!

In 2023 we launched a Vandalism Mitigation Fund to help small businesses and residents deal with vandalism issues on private storefronts, public art pieces and residential buildings. We removed vandalism on over 45 property sites

Designed by Adam Giordano, these banners highlight the main attractions of Allston village; it's food, music, and nightlife scene. While the bold colors reflect our vibrant community.

Come see them for yourself on Harvard Ave, Cambridge Street, and Brighton Ave!
