The Beacon Hill Business Association is known for several signature events that bring visitors and residents together for social occasions celebrating Beacon Hill businesses.

	A Taste of Beacon Hill (founded by Babak Bina) The "Taste" features many of our neighborhood restaurants together in one festive location. Over twenty five restaurants prepare and serve a "taste" of the dishes their specialty dishes to over 300 party-goers.The Taste of Beacon Hill provides a great opportunity for our member restaurants to showcase their culinary creations. The funds raised help cover part of the organization's operating expense and also provide for scholarships to culinary school.
	The Holiday Stroll For more than 10 years, the Beacon Hill Business Organization has sponsored a wonderful start to the holiday shopping season. From 6PM on we shut down Charles Street so that holiday shoppers and celebrants can stroll down the street and stop in to visit our shops and offices and enjoy the refreshments laid out for them. Children start earlier going to the Hill House fire house for free photos with Santa and when the last picture is taken, Santa lights the business district's Christmas Tree and officially kicks off our holiday season on Beacon Hill. Meanwhile visitors enjoy Victorian carolers strolling amongst the crowds and take free rides in a horse drawn buggy.
	The Fall Fundraiser For years the Business Association has held a fall party to raise funds for the "Holiday Stroll" and holiday decorations for Beacon Hill. Recently the committee that runs this event added a new twist, square dancing, to the cocktail party.
