A first-of-its-kind outdoor interactive space in Boston, The Lawn on D Powered by Citizens Bank began as an experimental event landscape that brings together different communities, audiences and area residents for innovative programming and events in the epicenter of the Innovation District and South Boston neighborhood. The Lawn on D Powered by Citizens Bank is owned and operated by the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) and was designed by Sasaki Associates.
The Lawn on D Powered by Citizens Bank is an event space designed to encourage public engagement, foster creativity and test opportunities for integrating the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BCEC) into the urban fabric with arts, music, games, food & beverage and other community-driven programming.
