The Upham's Corner Adventure is a celebration of the Upham’s Corner community (past, present, and future) and supporting its business district revitalization. After hosting our successful Urban Safari event from 2007-2011, we have decided to bring our flagship event of the event back to Upham's Corner and inside the historic Strand Theater! As one of Dorchester's main business districts, merchants, property owners, residents, and city officials seek through UCMS to create new permanent jobs with an optimal mix of retail businesses and changed shopping patterns that fit the priorities of Upham’s Corner’s twenty-first century residents.

With a nod to the past and a look to our exciting future inside our historic neighborhood theater, the Upham's Corner Adventure will truly be an evening to celebrate the Upham's Corner community. Dine on local food, jam to local music, and become acquianted with our community: past, present, and future!

Established in 1996, UCMS has been able to facilitate community participation to turn around an era of disinvestment and decline that happened in the second half of the twentieth century. Through difficult times, the community remained loyal to its home, as it understood as long as the neighborhood’s history and cultural diversity were preserved; the soul of Upham’s Corner would survive. Founded by local residents, businesses, and agencies, UCMS is charged with the task of reinventing Upham’s Corner into its former vibrant and magnetic business and residential district. UCMS engages the Upham’s Corner community in its efforts to preserve and revitalize the neighborhood’s history, culture and commercial center.
