Photos: Best Fest 2016

On July 19, 3,000 guests gathered at Boston City Hall Plaza for Best Fest 2016, Boston magazine’s annual celebration of its Best of Boston® winners. As a part of the festivities, the crowd enjoyed tastes from over 40 Best of Boston® restaurants, which ran the gamut from Hawaiian style salmon poke to wood-fired pizza. Attendees enjoyed drinks by SKYY Vodka, 90+ Cellars, and Stella Artois while listening to incredible performances by Eli Paperboy Reed, Bearstronaut, and DJ LINDSAY LUV. Additional fun included an extravagant VIP lounge hosted by Presenting Sponsor Mercedes-Benz, a lash extension bar by MaxiLashBoston, and interactive photo experiences by Capital One and Gilt City.
