This summer kick back with waterfront vinyl DJ sets from some of Boston’s boldest nightlife and cultural cliques. Boston boasts a thriving scene of innovative subcultures, bringing together communities eager to share their craft. This year’s Vinyl Nights lineup showcases a small slice of these various pockets, showcasing genres from disco and house to hip-hop and electro.
Enjoy refreshments from the ICA Wine + Coffee Bar with natural wines selected by nationally recognized sommelier Lauren Friel of Rebel Rebel and Dear Annie.
In case of inclement weather, vinyl nights will move indoors.
