Can you beat the King of JP Trivia?
We’ve just added an interesting element to our Zoom Trivia Fundraiser – “Extra Dough from Blue Frog Bakery!” All you have to do is beat Michael Reiskind, the WHIZ of Jamaica Plain-related trivia.

Voila! Viola Concert
The weather on Sunday, October 18, 2020, turned out to be just perfect for our mini-concert at our Green Street Parklet. We were so thankful to Daniel Kim of the Boston Symphony Orchestra volunteer his talents and wonderful instrument. These days, the little joys like live music are few and far between, so it was much appreciated.
New Parklet on Green Street
At last the parklet has arrived! Our parklet technically functions as a public park, so it is free and open to the public for use. It will remain in its location until the cold, at which point the city will pack and store the parklet. In the Spring, the parklet is reinstalled in the same location.
Night at the Drive-In
This past Saturday, July 18, JP Movie Night hosted a drive-in movie in the parking lot of St. Theresa of Avila in West Roxbury.
Galentine’s Success!
Thank you to all who came out for our Galentine’s Wine & Chocolate Tour of Jamaica Plain. If you followed the trail of red feathers, you would have found a Galentine’s celebration of epic proportions with red feather boas and great friends.
20 Districts in 20 Days – #WhereTheLocalsGo
On Saturday, December 14, JP Centre/South Main Streets hosted a visit from Natalia Urturbey – Director of Small Business Development, Chris Osgood – Chief of the Streets, Transportation & Sanitation, and Sebastian Zapata – Deputy Director of State Relations (and leading work for the 2020 Census in Boston). This visit was part of their 20 Districts in 20 Days campaign.
Shine a little light on JP!
Thank you to all who came out to the debut of our Holiday Light Show! The show must go on, snow and all, and we were ready for it! If you didn’t make it to the debut, no worries – the show will play every night from 5pm to 9pm, until Jan 1. Be sure and check it out!
The Orange Line RUNS!
Thank you to all those who came out for the 16th Annual Canine Costume Parade. We had 62 entrants and raised the most money ever! All proceeds benefit the City of Boston’s Animal Shelter in Roslindale, via gift cards purchased at local pet businesses. This ensures that the funds raised benefit the animals directly, and also support our local businesses.
Growler Gala Fun!
Thank you to all who came out for our Growler Gala Fundraiser on October 17 at the Loring Greenough House! It was totally tubular and awesomely radical, as we donned our best 80s gear for Stranger Brew.
Thank you Ellen + Janis Real Estate Team!
A big THANK YOU to Ellen + Janis Real Estate for sponsoring our Screen on the Green on Aug 1 at the Curley School. We were so excited to see the goodies they brought to the festivities! We’re also very excited to have them on board as sponsors for our CANINE COSTUME PARADE! Look for them and us in October!
