On these days, Newbury Street will be closed to vehicles from Berkeley Street to Massachusetts Avenue. Parking will also be banned from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Any vehicles left after 5 a.m. on those days will be towed. Visitors are encouraged to walk, bike or use public transit. For those who need to drive, parking garages are available near Copley Square.
Open Newbury will be held on Sundays in July, August and September and on one Sunday in December for holiday shopping.
