James P. Kelleher Rose Garden
The Rose Garden Party is an elegant evening social event which raises money for free participatory and performing arts events and workshops throughout City of Boston’s parks.
Mayor Martin J. Walsh and Ms. Lorrie Higgins serve as Honorary Event Co-Chairs of the Rose Garden Committee, which is comprised of arts institution directors, business leaders, university presidents, and supporters of children’s enrichment programming and the arts in our community.
Features include a live entertainment with a spirited, creative hat contest in a garden party setting, live and silent auction, en plein air painting demonstration, passed hors d’oeuvres, lavish buffet, and more.
Now in its 21st year, the annual Rose Garden Party has become one of Boston’s signature events. Please join us!

Serving several demographics including an at-risk population and children whose families cannot afford summer camps, we have witnessed children’s confidence increase as well as an enhanced sense of pride in their community by participating in these performing and participatory arts, fitness enrichment programs and special events.
We activate parks and build community via special events, our Artist in Residence series, splash dance parties, watercolor painting workshops, family movie nights, and our outdoor concerts. Many are held during evening hours when FBI statistics indicate that juveniles are more likely to engage in at-risk behavior. Studies indicate that positive programming in parks pushes out crime and negative activities.
Thank you in advance for helping to make a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of Boston youth.
