The Boston Harbor Association (TBHA) is the leading harbor advocacy group working to promote a clean, alive, and accessible Boston Harbor. Founded in 1973 by the League of Women Voters and the Boston Shipping Association, TBHA prides itself in its creative and innovative programs that help to educate the public and build a consensus for a clean and alive Harbor. The Boston Harbor Association is making a difference today and for future generations with solutions and programs that promote maritime industrial activities, environmental protection, and public access around Boston Harbor.
TBHA cares about
Boston Harbor as New England's maritime port, as a recreational and
tourist asset, and as the centerpiece of the area's natural and urban
environment. TBHA advocates for greater public access and open space along
Boston Harbor, promotes the Port of Boston's economy, educates urban
youths about Boston Harbor and related career opportunities through our
Harbor Bound program, encourages affordable public water transportation
throughout the Harbor, monitors water quality improvements, and works for
the restoration of Boston Harbor Beaches. The Boston Harbor Association is
making a difference every day on Boston Harbor!

Institute
of Contemporary Art Now Open
No visit to the waterfront is complete without a stop at the new Institute of Contemporary Art
(ICA) on the South Boston waterfront, the first art museum to be built in Boston in nearly 100 years. Opened in December 2006, the museum displays cutting-edge art in this magnificent building designed by the renowned architectural firm of Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The innovative design weaves together interior and exterior spaces, producing shifting perspectives of the waterfront throughout the museum's galleries and public spaces. Enjoy harbor views from famed chef Wolfgang Puck’s Water Café. Be sure to check out Sergio Vega’s parrot payphone sculpture on the
HarborWalk. Special thanks to Target for sponsoring free admission after 5 p.m. Thursday evenings. For more information on ICA exhibits, performances, and events, please go to
