Open Streets Mattapan <> TQNC Meetup Hub

Open Streets Mattapan is back, and TQNC will be there to host a dedicated community resource table and meetup hub at this event! Come find us, connect with neighbors, and enjoy the day! During Open Streets Mattpan, Blue Hill Ave. (between River St. & Babson St.) becomes a lively hub of community and play. The goal is to connect neighbors, local businesses and visitors to our communities. Open Streets Boston is a collection of vehicular-free, family friendly events offering programming across a wide spectrum of interests—from wellness activities and performance art to artisanal crafts and “kids zones” (and much more!) During these events, the City of Boston will close major thoroughfares to motor traffic, instead opening the roadways up for pedestrian use that will include walking, rolling, biking and other modalities. Special programming and activities, including a fantastic community marketplace and musical entertainment, will be featured throughout the day from 10:30am - 3:00pm. TQNC is a grassroots nonprofit fostering queer joy, advocacy, and arts for Greater Boston’s LGBTQIA+ and ally community. TQNC hosts queer community events where we can safely exist as our whole selves, advocates for our queer community, and provides support services for queer community members facing threats to their basic physical and mental health.
