The city of Boston is asking people to carry out four acts of kindness on One Boston Day, including supporting a small business or restaurant, buying someone a cup of coffee or donating to a local organization.
One Boston Day focuses on resiliency and strength as the city commemorates the 9th anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings.
There are a few events on deck Friday. There will be two wreath laying events at the two locations on Boylston Street where bombs were detonated. There’s also a moment of silence scheduled for 2:49 p.m., the time of the attacks. Immediately after, bells will ring at the Old South Church in memory of those lives taken that day, and in honor of the survivors.
