HUBweek, a weeklong celebration of innovation and creativity in Boston, will kickoff Sunday, October 4 with a cornerstone event at Fenway Park.

World-leading political philosopher Michael Sandel will lead an all-star panel including comedian Whitney Cummings, author and editor Arianna Huffington, renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma and others in a lively discussion—with audience participation—on today’s most challenging moral, ethical, and civic questions—all inside historic Fenway Park.

Sandel gave a preview of his vexing questions to late night host and Harvard alum Conan O’Brien.

Fenway Forum will also include musical performances by the Silk Road Ensemble and a special guest.

Thousands are expected to attend.

After Fenway Forum, attendees are invited to walk out onto Lansdowne Street and participate in ILLUMINUS, a free and open nighttime contemporary art festival that will transform the street and the exterior of Fenway’s Green Monster into an immersive and vibrant urban canvas, using light, sound, and the talents of 50 local artists.
