During Mayor's Office Hours, residents will be able to register to vote, print certified copies of birth, marriage and death certificates, apply for handicap parking, pay for parking tickets, and submit a permit for park usage (sports or special events), and more.

Community is built in big moments, and in small, playful ones.

Join us for a special Game Night edition of Brewing Connections, our intergenerational LGBTQ+ café where people of all ages gather to connect, laugh, and build relationships across generations. This time, we’re featuring Boston Gaymers, bringing games that spark collaboration, storytelling, and a little friendly competition.

Inspired by the spirit of oral history — a practice Queer History Boston uses to preserve and honor LGBTQ+ experiences — this evening invites us to share time, conversation, and joy in ways that feel natural and welcoming. Over games and light refreshments, we’ll celebrate the simple power of being together.

🎲 Games. Community. Connection.

Presented by: Ethos; Queer History Boston; LGBTQ Senior Housing; LGBTQ+ Elders of Color; and The City of Boston’s Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement, Age Strong Commission, and Office of Youth Engagement and Advancement
