BWB Family Reunion '23
On Saturday, July 22nd from 12:00 - 8:00 p.m., we’re taking over the Lawn on D yet again for a day-long celebration of Black experiences, community and culture. Inspired by traditional family gatherings, we’re bringing together Black Bostonians from across neighborhoods, hometowns, and generations to experience joy and create memories with friends and family.
Count on all your favorite Black-folk classics making a return this year, from line-dancing to epic Double Dutch showdowns and intense Spades tournaments to face painting fun for all ages. We will also feature live music that'll get you on your feet, BWB member exclusives, and innovative showcases of local vendors and artists from the community.
