Boston Announces Seaport Bocce Club

Author Jeff Gorra
May 10th 4:35 PM

Community program, Project Paulie, has announced a new partnership with the Seaport district to open a Bocce club. The space will open this Saturday May 13 and will remain open for three months, closing on August 13.

The Project Paulie Bocce Club will feature three outdoor bocce lanes. In addition, there will be a clubhouse onsite that sells Project Paulie Bocce Club merchandise. This exclusive gear will only be available in-person at the Clubhouse. It will include hats, bags, kits, sweatshirts, shorts, and t-shirts. A portion of all proceeds from bocce lane reservations will be donated to Project Bread, the leading anti-hunger organization in Massachusetts.

The Bocce Courts

The seaport explains in the official press release that the Bocce area “will feature green-and-white striped décor throughout and green neon-lit bocce lanes that add a monochromatic flair. Visitors can book one of two reservations-only lanes, or walk-up for a game on the one non-reservations lane.” No experience is needed to play. In fact, there will even be staff onsite to assist those who have never played.

Plus, you can make a day of your Seaport bocce experience. There will also be food onsite from Buenas. They serve hot dogs, veggie hot dogs, and emPAWnadas for dogs. Soft drinks will be available as well.

Where To Go

Project Paulie Bocce Club will be located at 88 Seaport Boulevard. It plans to be open seven days a week from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. Prices for an hour of play are $40 per lane. Up to four people are allowed per lane.

What is Project Paulie?

It was founded by Nicky Bandera during the early 2020 pandemic days. Being out of work, Bandera found herself cooking for friends, family, and neighbors each day. As a result, she would bake lasagnas for those who were in need of some cheer and a hot meal. Soon, she had sent over 2,000 lasagnas to people in need. Bandera had the support of a core group of friends and her surrounding community, too. They often helped sponsor and deliver the care packages. “The support she received allowed her to support others. That’s how “we feed each other, and that’s how Project Paulie was born,” she states.

Finally, through certain partnerships and initiatives, Project Paulie can align their efforts to relative charitable organizations like Project Bread.

“We’re excited to announce another fun way to support these impactful organizations through a nostalgic game of bocce,” Project Paulie founder, Nicky Bandera concludes.

Boston Will be the Only U.S. City To Host Red Bull Cliff Diving

On Saturday, June 3, the Seaport district will host one of the season’s most extreme events. For the second year in a row, Boston will host the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series. In fact, Boston is the only American city to be selected to host.

Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) will be the official site where 20 of the world’s best divers will compete. It’s the first stop on the tour, which also includes France, Italy, Japan, Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina and New Zealand. The events are held from June to November.

Red Bull describes the event as one where “Divers execute incredible acrobatics from heights of more than 20 meters in the ultimate display of focus and skill.”

There will be 16 divers (8 female / 8 male) competing at each tour stop. In addition, wildcard divers will be selected to represent their country at each location as well. In total, 12 women and 12 men compete at every event. The women launch from a platform of 21 meters high, and the men from 27 meters. They are judged individually by a panel that looks for the creativity and acrobatics displayed in each dive. At the end of every season, a champion is awarded the “King Kahekili” trophy, as well as a winner’s prize fund.

What is Red Bull Cliff Diving?

As Red Bull describes it, “Free-falling from up to 27m combined with awe-inducing acrobatics.” The sport itself originated hundreds of years ago in Hawaii. King Kahekili, after whom the champion’s trophy is now named, was a Hawaiian chief who first leapt from the holy cliffs of Kaunolo in the 1700s. Today, each competition under Red Bull rules takes place over two days. Judges rate each diver. The winner is determined by who has the highest point total at the end.

Boston

There are some Boston date specifics to be aware of. The event is free but with a capacity limit. Spectators are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot. There will be a giant jumbotron onsite for viewing. Furthermore, there will be live music, interviews, and additional entertainment during the competition. The Boston Harbor waterways are regulated during this time. Though there appear to be some viewpoints, boats are not allowed within the designated marina. Finally, Red Bull does provide drinks and snacks for purchase. The event is rain or shine unless there is thunder, lightning, or high winds. So, mark your calendars for June 3 and head down to the Seaport’s ICA on Northern Avenue.
