The Hatch Memorial Shell is a concert venue on the Charles River Esplanade in Boston, Massachusetts. It was constructed in 1941 to commemorate the late brother of Maria Hatch, Edward. The venue is home to a wide range of outdoor events, specifically musical performances from varying genres. The most popular event at the Hatch Shell every year is the Fourth of July festivities, with the main performance from the Boston Pops. This event alone draws massive crowds from all over New England. Because of the venue’s emphasis on classical music, it is an extremely important part of Boston’s culture. However, climate change is threatening this integral structure. With warming temperatures and rising sea levels, the Hatch Shell is in severe danger of being underwater in just a few years. However, all hope is not lost. By signing this petition, you can help to gain the attention of administrators and local officials that can enact change to protect this infrastructure. Boston cannot afford to lose the very heart of its classical music culture and you can help to keep the city alive.
