GroundBeat Concert Series at the Hatch Shell

Join us on the Esplanade for this FREE riverfront concert series celebrating Boston’s vibrant music scene. Each concert is produced by local creators and showcases a diverse lineup of artists, bringing communities together through music, culture, and connection.

All performances take place at the iconic DCR Hatch Memorial Shell (47 David G Mugar Way, Boston, MA 02108) and feature live music, beautiful views of the Charles River, and a lively atmosphere with vendors, lawn games, and family-friendly activities.
