Traveling Beer Garden To Hit 7 Boston Parks This Summer
A brewery and restaurant have joined forces and are going on tour like a rockstar this summer. Specifically, it’s a traveling beer garden that will set up shop in in seven different city parks in the greater Boston area this summer. The fun begins next week.
In a city of Boston press release, it was unveiled that “Mayor Michelle Wu and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department today announced a partnership with Roundhead Brewing Company and Fresh Food Generation to bring Alianza, a first-of-its-kind traveling beer garden series, to seven of Boston’s parks throughout the summer with food and beverages for all ages.”
Roundhead Brewing is a local establishment that is originally based out of Hyde Park. Their craft beers are broken into two categories: their core brews and occasional specials. Always available year-round, you will find Berliner Weisse, a Peruvian IPA, Peruvian Lager, and a Double IPA. This summer, they have then teamed with Fresh Food Generation, which is a small business located in Dorchester. They describe themselves by saying, “We combine New England ingredients with bold Caribbean and Southern flavors to create a meal that’s enticing and fresh.”
Their lively and vibrant food truck is as engaging and cheerful as their food offerings. Together, this local brew and bites combination has become what the city describes as “Alianza (Alliance), the name for this beer garden series, speaks to the local business partnership and invites attendees to travel and build community across neighborhoods.”

Here Is The 2024 Official Boston Calling Custom Merch
Headliner Shirts
Again, these are available all weekend. Each of them seem to promote the given album or tour the artist is on. Hozier and the Killers seem to have the largest variety of items available. Tyler Childers has the best hat collection for sale, from truckers to rope hats.The BC Hats + Harvard Represents
New this year, there are few options of custom Boston Calling hats. My preference in comfort is the green one that I am also wearing in the image at the top of this article. This year’s silkscreen poster contains the names of all the artist. There is one poster for sale. The Harvard basketball jersey is a nice addition to the lineup, sporting the #24. Perhaps its a nod the graduation that occurred here earlier in the week.
The Official T-Shirt And Water Bottle
The lineup 2024 t-shirt comes in an all black option or tie-dyed. Both are the same with the logo on the front and lineup on the back. There are two water bottles. One is yellow and the other is the signature festival colors of blue and red.
The 2024 Custom Shirt, Jackets, and Shorts
Have there ever been Boston Calling shorts? Well, they have them this year. While they’ve certain had sweatpants in the past I don’t recall the branded short flying out of the brown boxes as quickly as they are this year. Perhaps the beautiful 80-degree day has something to do wit that. As usual, there are also a nice array of custom 2024 festival t-shirts. The bomber jacket is a stylish dark green, and of course the dog head logo is everywhere.
