Big Gay Dance Party

Join us for Somerville’s Big Gay Dance Party – An Outdoor Celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride! Come celebrate Pride Month with an unforgettable dance party in Union Square Plaza! This free, all-ages event is a joyful celebration of love, diversity, and inclusivity, welcoming LGBTQ+ individuals and allies alike. This year’s theme: Halloween in June! Get creative and bring your most fabulous, spooky, or outrageous costume—because who says you can’t celebrate Halloween in June? Whether you come dressed as a glamorous ghoul, a glittering ghost, or your fabulous self, we can’t wait to see your look on the dance floor! Sounds by DJ Live: Keeping the energy high with a killer dance set. Drag performances by Amanda Playwith and Lily: Serving up fierce, fabulous, and unforgettable performances. Professional photographs with Megan Senturk LGBTQ+ organizations will be tabling! Connect with local groups doing meaningful work in the community. Pride is more than just a celebration—it’s a powerful reminder of the resilience, creativity, and strength of the LGBTQ+ community. This event is an opportunity to stand in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ friends, family, and neighbors, while also sharing joy, self-expression, and community connection. Weather date: June 22nd. Free and open to all! Let’s make this a night of dancing, connection, and celebration in the spirit of Pride!
