On Saturday, October 11, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Friends of the Blue Hills invite the community to a one-of-a-kind autumn adventure. 

Hike to the summit, either on your own or with one of our friendly hike leaders, and enjoy a BYO picnic dinner with a view as live music by Retro Rockets fills the air.

For safety and planning purposes, all participants are asked to preregister at friendsofthebluehills.org/event/2025-sunset-hike. Additionally, all hikers should check inat the table at the beginning of the Red Dot Trail near the Trailside Museum before embarking on the hike. Hikers are encouraged to bring flashlights or headlamps.

Free parking is available at Blue Hills Ski Area, 4001 Washington Street, Canton. Themain lot fills up quickly, so carpooling is recommended if possible. Overflow parking is nearby. We also want to inform people that the 716 bus runs every 90 minutes from Mattapan Station.
