Esplanade Association Programs

The River Fit Fitness Series promotes exercise and health through free group pop-up and routine fitness classes all year long. Our summer schedule is now live!

International Moves and Food, in partnership with Boston Dance Alliance, is a free dance series is led by local professional teaching artists and culture bearers who share dance traditions that connect us & reflect us right here in Boston and across the globe. After each class, participants are invited to enjoy free food from local restaurants for a chance to connect socially!

The Esplanade Association is always looking for passionate groups and individuals to participate in the Volunteer Program and give back to the park that we all treasure so dearly. Esplanade Association volunteers can help with different projects to keep the park healthy and beautiful or assist with in-park programs and events.

The Esplanade Association is proud to offer free monthly Guided Tours on the Esplanade to share the park’s amazing stories, plants, and wildlife with visitors and residents.

GroundBeat, the Esplanade’s FREE Riverfront Music Series aims to increase opportunities to perform on the Esplanade for producers and artists across greater Boston who are committed to increasing inclusivity and diversity in Boston’s arts scene.
