ABOUT RIVERSTAGE
Riverstage at Herter Park is Boston’s free outdoor amphitheater on the Charles — a 550-seat stage where the city gathers every summer to experience music, theater, and live performance together.
​
What began as the Herter Park Amphitheater has grown into one of the Boston area’s most enduring community performance spaces. Today, as Riverstage at Herter Park, we’re building on that legacy with a renewed commitment to programming that is adventurous, inclusive, and free.​
FREE OUTDOOR CONCERTS & PERFORMANCES
Our mission is to enrich the community through art and culture, making high-quality entertainment accessible to everyone. With a lineup featuring local talents and renowned artists, we strive to create unforgettable experiences for all ages.
Come and be part of our lively summer celebrations!
