Uber from Boston port on day of Pride Festival

[Vatxal]

We will arrive in Boston for the day of the Pride Festival. We were planning to call a ride share to get to the Constitution and later back to the port from the North end. Will we have any trouble getting an uber ? TIA

Where are you coming from?  The airport?  Cruise Terminal?  Elsewhere?

 

The parade is in the Back Bay/Copley area of Boston, so much of the city won't be affected by the pageantry.

As Nitemare said-- this isn't taking place in an area of the city that affects you. You'll be able to get an Uber to Charlestown easily. They also run a fun little ferry from Charlestown Navy Yard to Long Wharf coming back which is adjacent and walkable to the North End-- worth doing. Sort of a cheap mini harbor cruise.

We will be  traveling to and from the cruise terminal. We were concerned that ubers might concentrate in the Festival area. Thank you.

Thank you ! We plan to use the ferry after we visit the Constitution. We have also read about the water taxi as a means of returning to the seaport . We previously used the T to return to the ship but were concerned with the effects of the festival crowds on this day. We have not visited during a large event before.

Shouldn't make much of a difference for you-- on the opposite side of town and you have a clear corridor to get from Charlestown/North End back to South Boston.

Thank you we are looking forward to our day in Boston.
