Amadou & Mariam, Daby Toure, Daara J July 14, 2006

Back Bay's beautiful Marlborough Street will be blocked off between Berkeley and Clarendon Streets to accommodate 3,000 revelers, dancing in the streets. French food and drinks will be available for sale from area restaurants, making this the only street party of its kind in Boston.
