What’s New At Boston’s Lawn On D As Season 11 Is Underway

What's new at Lawn on D? Well, Season 11 is now underway as it opened over the weekend with lots of new and exciting things happening. Here's all you need to know about the new installations and upgrades.

If you've never been there before, I'm sure you've at least seen the big "circle swings" on social media. But it's more than just some swings. "A first-of-its-kind outdoor interactive space in Boston, The Lawn On D 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 South Boston Waterfront and South Boston neighborhoods. The Lawn On D is owned and operated by the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA)." (Signature Boston)

There are two marquee additions that are now part of the experience: the Kaleidoscope Garden and Urban Grove interactive installations.

“We looked to the kaleidoscope as an awe-inspiring apparatus to create ever-changing experiences that set the imagination ablaze and capture the fleeting, light-filled spirit of summer,” said designers Sarah Brophy and Katherine Chin. “Kaleidoscope Garden invites people to wander through an immersive particle field of firefly-like glowing discs before entering the central oculus, where they partake in a communal act of image-making with the changing sky.” (Lawn on D)
