Downtown Boston Alliance
About
Downtown Boston Alliance is the nonprofit business improvement district for downtown Boston, working to make the neighborhood a lively place to shop, eat, live, work and visit. Its public face is a guide to the area, covering shopping, nightlife, dining, places to stay, history and culture, along with a calendar of the thousands of events that take place downtown each year. Visitors, residents and office workers can use it to find what is happening in the heart of the city.
The calendar mixes public art, musical performances, marquee attractions and block parties with theater, comedy, concerts, opera, walking tours and seasonal events such as a Halloween pet parade. The organization also makes the case for downtown as a home and a workplace, pointing to high-rise apartments, renovated lofts and student dorms, plus cafés and co-working spaces for remote workers and an easy commute to major companies for those who work in an office.
