A special 300th Anniversary event will take place on Wednesday, September 14th from 10am-11:15am on Long Wharf on the waterfront to celebrate Boston Lighthouse.  We hear Mayor Marty Walsh and Governor Charlie Baker  and Congressman Stephen Lynch will be on hand for the festivities in addition to many other national, state and local dignitaries.

Montillio’s Baking Company will be creating a one of a kind of cake to celebrate too!
