The City of Boston is conducting a Summer 2026 Business Impact Survey to better understand how this summer’s major events have affected small businesses throughout Boston.
During June and July 2026, Boston welcomed visitors for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and Sail Boston, while also celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.
The City of Boston’s Economic Opportunity and Inclusion Cabinet would like to hear directly from local small businesses about how these events impacted your business, including changes in customers, sales, operations, and overall business activity.
If you own or operate a small business in Boston, please take a few minutes to complete the brief survey and share your experience.
As always, the City of Boston Licensing Board and the Office of Small Business are available to assist local businesses.
