Press Release from Burlington Mall


Burlington Mall, northwest suburban Boston’s premier shopping and dining destination, invites shoppers to discover The Park with the recent announcement of their extensive new programming plans. As the primary place for Burlington Mall Events, the Park will host dozens of activities between May and October.

Spring programming kicks off with the family-favorite Touch a Truck on May 11th from 9am to 1pm, with special hours reserved for a sensory-friendly experience from 9am to 10am. Kids will have the chance to explore vehicles of all shapes and sizes: fire trucks, construction loaders, farm equipment, big rigs and more. In addition, families can check out Animal Adventures in June and the Caterpillar Lab in September.

The Third Thursdays program will run from May to September. Each month at 10am, check out a new activity featuring music and theatre. These free classes are best suited for kids ages 0 to 7, but it is fun for the whole family. MetaMovements will return to Burlington Mall in June and July for Sunset Salsa dance lessons. You can also bring your four-legged friends to Bones & Brews at Common Craft from June through September, enjoying the outdoor patio with your dog. Canine customers get their own menu and a free Boston Barkery treat.

“We’re dedicated to providing the very best experiences for our shoppers and have worked closely with several community partners on an amazing calendar of events,” says Justin Feldhouse, General Manager at Burlington Mall. “In addition to our impressive lineup of retailers and dining options, we want Burlington Mall to be an entertainment destination and The Park is the perfect spot for that.”

The Park, an inviting green gathering space, has been an integral asset in maintaining the connection between retailers, the mall, and the community since its establishment. It features multi-use event areas with swings, lawn games, a bocce ball court, a Little Free Library, a bike rack, and intimate seating areas with fire tables. The Park’s defined sidewalks create areas to gather and opportunities for alfresco dining at the restaurants, while thoughtful landscaping creates green areas that soften the hardscape. The Park has also been designed to manage rainwater with pervious areas and a rain garden, benefiting the environment by filtering ground water.


The Park at Burlington Mall is a hub for hosting activities for friends and the entire family. From outdoor fitness to cultural performances and destination special/pop-up events, shoppers will enjoy a myriad of programs. It’s the start of an eventful remainder of 2024, with GRECO. Truly Greek and Fiorella’s Cucina both set to open soon, as well as the much-anticipated opening of Aritzia in late 2024.
