Join Minni and CoDesign Collaborative in making a cozy quilt! Families will be guided through the making of colorful patterns with soft felt shapes, fabric glue and simple stitching techniques to make cozy quilts, perfect for snuggling up with a favorite stuffy and a cup of hot cocoa! This is a FREE event funded by the City of Boston Nightlife Economy Department’s grant program.

We will also be hosting a donation drive at the workshop! Please consider bringing a warm clothing item or blanket to donate to St. Francis House, the largest day shelter in Massachusetts supporting people experiencing homelessness and poverty. 

About Minni × CoDesign Collaborative

CoDesign Collaborative is thrilled to partner with Minni to expand access for Boston families to hands-on, design-learning workshops through the city’s Wake Up the Night initiative!

Minni's South End space will open to families for FREE evening workshops on select dates this fall. Each workshop will focus on codesign—design that centers community and collaboration. Families will enjoy creative play and messy materials while being introduced to deeper themes of design impact.

New Edgerly Plaza Launch Party

The Boston Transportation Department has installed a new pedestrian plaza on the road in front of Whole Foods in Fenway. The plaza will serve people of all ages, providing an opportunity to relax, dine outdoors and have fun.

Join us on the plaza for fun, games, goodies, and music! We'll be celebrating 4 - 6 p.m. on Friday, November 1!

November 1, 2024
2024-11-01T16:00:00 - 2024-11-01T18:00:00
WHY THE PLAZA?

The idea came from the community several years ago. After numerous successful one-day pilots for Porchfest and performing traffic counts that showed many more pedestrians than cars in this area, the City transformed this space into a vibrant pedestrian-focused public plaza. 

WHERE TO LEARN MORE?

Visit the plaza website for more information, future events, and to let us know what you think!
