New Bostonians Community Day

New Bostonians Day Cancelled for 2011

After 11 years of organizing New Bostonians Community Day which allowed thousands of New Bostonians to be better acquainted with city and community resources, the Office of New Bostonians will not be hosting New Bostonians Community Day this year.   We are in the process of reviewing the effectiveness of the event and  looking into doing something new to better meet the needs of the diverse communities that reside in the city of Boston.  We want to thank you for your help, your work, and support and commitment in making New Bostonians Community Day a success all these years.  

If you have any questions please contact Armando Silva at 617-635-1961 or e-mail Armando Silva.

Community Day Background


New Bostonians Community Day was created to improve New Bostonians’ access to crucial City resources and increase their understanding of city government and ways to participate in it. Community Day is also a celebration of the diverse communities living in Boston, and an opportunity to cultivate closer relationships among the diverse population and city leaders.

The day's festivities include:

  • Welcome by Mayor Thomas M. Menino

  • World Flag Parade

  • Art and craft tables

  • Resource tables from local community organizations

  • Multilingual tours of several Boston City Hall departments

  • Multicultural presentations

  • Immigration and career development clinics

Resource Table Reservation Information

Organizations can reserve resource table space to acquaint the New Bostonian Communities with their services. There will be a $30.00 non-refundable charge to cover the costs associated with renting the tables and chairs. To reserve a resource table, please contact Armando Silva.  Participating organizations traditionally have included ESOL Programs, high schools and other educational institutions, community centers, health centers, and other groups working with diverse populations. Table space is in high demand, so please secure your reservation as soon as possible.
