The biggest event is in the South End, but there are two events in the Back Bay this afternoon and evening.
Massachusetts' AIDS Action Committee has a detailed list of events throughout the state, but Patch has pulled out two events in the Back Bay and one in the South End worth traveling to see.

World AIDS Day Medicine Wheel Vigil At The Cyclorama
Medicine Wheel, a public art installation and vigil run by artist Michael Dowling and held annually at the Boston Center for the Arts, is the longest running Boston Area World AIDS Day event.
Medicine Wheel provides a safe place to gather and reflect on the impact of the pandemic, while artists offer their gifts of music, dance and poetry.
The exhibit runs midnight-to-midnight, and it's free and open to the public.
