Back on the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway! In 2015, we will be returning to the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway for our 6th Annual Boston Local Food Festival! This beautiful downtown location is a perfect venue for this outdoor festival. Hailed as one of the top 10 food events in Boston since 2010, the festival is produced by Sustainable Business Network of Massachusetts with a goal of promoting “Healthy Local Food for All.” The festival is New England’s premier event for restaurants and food producers promoting local food and for eaters seeking to support local food providers.
