Elephants and Lunch
Saturday, August 29, 2026
Boston, Massachusetts
Join the National Federation of the Blind of Massachusetts (NFBMA) for a special afternoon of art, friendship, fellowship, and exploration in Boston. We’ll gather for lunch at Stephanie’s on Newbury before heading out together to experience an extraordinary elephant art exhibition.
Walk among the herd, experience their immense forms up close, and discover the beautiful and intricate artwork that brings these magnificent animals to life. The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to experience the majesty and peacefulness of elephants while exploring a powerful message of coexistence, wildlife, and our connection to the natural world.
Not joining us for lunch? You are still welcome to join the adventure. Meet the group outside Stephanie’s at approximately 2:00 p.m. before we head to the exhibition together.
Come explore something new, strengthen friendships, and enjoy a memorable afternoon of art, laughter, fellowship, and discovery with your Federation family.
