Special 2025 Festival Theme:
Tradition & Innovation
​
Boston Design Week 2025 celebrates both traditional design and the latest innovations. We encourage events that increase appreciation for traditional, historical and classical design, and events which offer a focus on innovation, cutting edge technologies, digital design and artificial intelligence. Events that combine both traditional design AND innovation are especially welcome. In addition to possibly receiving a Special Focus Track designation (see below) events that reflect our 2025 theme will receive special consideration for visibility during the festival.
