What’s Closed in Boston on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11
City offices close, meters are free and daytime street cleaning is off. What changes in Boston on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
Veterans Day is Wednesday, November 11, and it’s a city holiday in Boston. Here’s what changes, from the City of Boston’s 2026 holiday schedule.
- Closed: City of Boston offices and BCYF community centers.
- Parking meters: free, with no time limit.
- Street cleaning: daytime cleaning is canceled; overnight cleaning runs as usual.
- Trash and recycling: pickups run late in some neighborhoods this week. The city’s Trash Day app has your street.
- Libraries: the city’s holiday page says Boston Public Library branches close for Veterans Day, but that line still carries last year’s date, so check bpl.org before you go.
- Getting around: the Green Line is still shut down between North Station and the branches through Sunday, Nov. 15. Our Green Line shutdown guide has the shuttles and the other lines to use.
Off on Wednesday? Our free events page and this week’s calendar have what’s on.
What we did: we checked the City of Boston’s 2026 holiday schedule on Nov. 5 and again on Nov. 9, and our own Green Line shutdown story for the MBTA changes.
