An estimated 1,200 people participated in last year’s family and dog-friendly events which featured a different  Massachusetts breweries.

Town Center Beer Garden & Local Business Thursdays is part of Burlington’s “placemaking” effort which is a people-centered approach to the planning, design, and use of public spaces. Through a collaborative process, do-able improvements are identified and implemented that bring immediate benefits to the people who use these spaces.

Community Corner pocket park is an installation that converted vehicle parking spaces at 184 Cambridge Street into a playful public space with green turf. In 2022, Mary Leach’s “Community Corner” entry was chosen as the winning name in the Name the Park contest.

“Placemaking in the Town of Burlington is not just the act of building or fixing up a space, it is a process in which people feel a strong stake in their communities and commitment to making things better,” said Melisa Tintocalis, Burlington’s Economic Development Director.
