The festival takes place on Saturday, June 6 from 1 PM to sundown at the Lawn on D, with musical performances kicking off at 3 PM.

Alternatively, Harpoon is creating space for people to slow down and enjoy a summer day in their own way, whether that means catching a set, playing lawn games, or just hanging with a drink in hand – ideally, Low Key lager – a light, easy-drinking craft beer with subtle tropical fruit notes that perfectly match the spirit of the festival: less hype, more hang. &nbsp; Additional Details:<ul><li>No pets allowed</li><li>No outside food or alcohol permitted during concession hours</li><li>While all ages are welcome, you must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcohol</li></ul>Whether you’re heading over after Boston Pride festivities or just looking for an easygoing way to spend a Saturday, Boston Chilling keeps things intentionally casual: come by, hang for a bit, or don’t. No big push. No hard sell. Just… chill. &nbsp; For driving directions and details on public transportation, biking, or parking, <a href="https://www.signatureboston.com/lawn-on-d/community-activities#travel">visit the Lawn on D website</a>.
