Because of the cold and snowy conditions, the BHCA postponed the removal of the wreaths (planned for February 7 and 8th) throughout Beacon Hill.
​The Undecorating Brunch will be rescheduled.
We will reassess the weather in a couple of weeks and share the new date as soon as it’s confirmed.

Beacon Hill Civic Association Mission Statement
The Beacon Hill Civic Association (BHCA) was established in 1922 by a small group of neighbors
whose goal was to protect Beacon Hill's historic residential character. Today, the BHCA
continues as a volunteer organization that helps preserve and enhance the quality of life ​
on Beacon Hill, ​a historic, urban, residential neighborhood in downtown Boston.

Beacon Hill Civic Association Statement on Racial Justice
The Beacon Hill Civic Association joins in the call for equality and racial justice in our society.
Ending systemic racism falls to all of us, and the Beacon Hill Civic Association commits to
using its platform, privilege, and resources to help build a community of inclusiveness,
diversity, fairness, and respect within our neighborhood and throughout the City of Boston.
