The JOY Party

The Joy party is the season opener for our outdoor dance parties, May 11th, from 1-7 pm at Magazine Beach in Cambridge. Joy is a daytime, family-friendly, inclusive, intersectional, free, intergenerational, and public event that highlights and celebrates women in the underground house dance scene and connected communities. Boston-based DJs will provide the music: Jenene Cook, and Liza Sellers, with special guest, Steph MB, from Atlanta. Our mission is to provide multicultural, underground, art-filled events that provide a network for, DJs, dancers, designers, artists, musicians, and civic leaders to collaborate, celebrate, and welcome others in building community. We aim to create settings that are harmonious, family-friendly, intergenerational, and open to the public. The 2025 Summer Party Series includes the following events at Magazine Beach in Cambridge except for GetOpen Boston is at Malibu Beach in Dorchester: ·     Joy – May 10th ·     Be Free By the Bridge – June 6th ·     GetOpen Boston (Malibu Beach, Dorchester) – July 12th ·     Be Free by the Bridge – August 9th Be Free on June 6th honors the legacy of the founding members, hosting local DJs to share a diverse range of underground dance music with the public while including healthy food, community resource information, arts, and family-oriented activities. GetOpen Boston is Be Free’s beachside healing village and festival at Malibu Beach in Dorchester. It’s a collaboration with GetOpen Sessions, Urban Sanctuary, Lift as We Climb, and the Be Free Collective as we cultivate wellness and community through holistic disciplines, art, movement, and music. Holistic and wellness professionals from multiple disciplines provide yoga, meditation, herbal medicine, exercise, and dance workshops for all fitness levels.
