Boston’s Lenox Hotel is marking National Hot Dog Day with a free, community-focused celebration in the heart of Back Bay today.

Celebrate National Hot Dog Day in Boston
The annual hot dog giveaway, organized by Lenox Hotel staff, is designed as a lighthearted way to celebrate the holiday while giving back to the local community. The event turns the Boylston–Exeter corner into a brief lunchtime hotspot, inviting Bostonians to swing by, grab a free hot dog, and soak in the neighborhood’s energy.
