For those who don't know about these pillow fights, they are quite fun and simple!

Show up at 2:55pm, remain inconspicuous to the best of your abilities. Hide your pillow in bags, big jackets, random trees.

At 3pm, you'll hear the very obvious signal, rush in and pillow fight away.

The rules for this pillow fight are pretty straight forward:

1. Bring a pillow, a soft one is preferred.
2. No feathered pillows - let's keep the mess low.
3. Don't hit anyone without a pillow
4. If you are wearing glasses, make sure you take them off.
5. Don't hit people with cameras
6. Go all out!

Costumes are of course encouraged. This event is child-appropriate!

Invite your friends, family and co-workers. Spread the word! Last year was a great turnout, let's put Boston on the World Pillow Fight Map!

Lets shake some dust!
