At this event, you'll hear a brief overview of the Carbon Free Boston project directly from the team, participate in audience Q&A, and discuss the project one-on-one with City officials and other guests at a reception immediately following the presentation. 

We’re working with Boston University’s Institute for Sustainable Energy, the Green Ribbon Commission, and other key collaborators to review the costs and benefits of policies and technologies that will help Boston become carbon neutral by 2050. This analysis will help us to understand the options to achieve our climate goals.

RSVP for the event

Mayor Martin J. Walsh, in partnership with the Museum of African American History, Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras (BYSO), and Boston University, will present, "A Day of Celebration in Honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.," on Monday, January 15, 2018 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Metcalf Hall on the second floor of George Sherman Union at Boston University located at 775 Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. It is fitting that this year’s tribute is being generously held at Boston University since Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. earned his Ph.D. in systematic theology there in 1955.

This event celebrates Dr. King, the man, the minister, and the humanitarian. Young BYSO musicians' outstanding performances of classical music, spirituals and freedom songs are complemented by the words of Dr. King as spoken by three distinguished community leaders, and culminated with a keynote address by Beverly Morgan-Welch, the Associate Director of External Affairs for the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture.

The free event will feature appearances by Mayor Walsh, NECN’s Jenny Johnson, Santa Claus, and Rudolph along with musical performances by the Boston Children’s Chorus, the Boston Pops Brass Quintet, and Berklee College of Music students Britani Washington and Sam Robbins.  

The Old South Church bell will toll when the tree is illuminated.  Light refreshments will be provided by local businesses New England Coffee, DAVIDsTEA, and HP Hood LLC. The Fairmont Copley Plaza will host a family reception immediately following for all in attendance.  The reception will include cookie decorating, photos with Santa, and treats from the Fairmont Copley Plaza.

Even more festivities will take place in and around Copley Square on November 27. The Boston Public Library and The Catered Affair will host a Storytime and Candy Cane Tea at the library from 3:30 - 5 p.m.  The tea is free but reservations are required by calling 617-859-2272. 

For additional information please call the Boston Parks and Recreation Department at 617-635-4505.  To learn more about The Friends of Copley Square, please visit www.friendsofcopleysquare.org.
