The Boston Square Summer Celebration (aka Boston Square Fair) is an annual neighborhood gathering that brings the heart of Boston Square together to celebrate culture, support local businesses, and strengthen connections across the community.
Now in its 6th year, the celebration creates a vibrant space where residents, entrepreneurs, artists, and families come together to experience the energy and creativity that define Boston Square in Grand Rapids.
This year’s event continues that tradition by focusing on what matters most: building community, expanding economic opportunity, uplifting youth leadership, and connecting residents with resources that support wellness, stability, and neighborhood growth.
“The Boston Square Summer Celebration is about bringing neighbors together, supporting local businesses, and creating opportunities for our community to thrive. Each year we are intentional about building something that reflects the pride, creativity, and resilience of Boston Square.” — Victor Williams, President, Boston Square Neighborhood Association
