Donna Summer's Disco Party will return to light up Boston's City Hall Plaza with a vibrant celebration of the music and legacy of the legendary queen of disco.
The event will take place on June 27 from 5 pm to 9 pm, where Boston invites everyone to dance, skate, and enjoy the iconic hits of Donna Summer, the Boston-born artist who redefined music in the 1970s.
Tribute to a Boston Legend
Born in Dorchester and raised in Mission Hill, Donna Summer rose to worldwide fame, becoming a five-time Grammy Award winner and inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Her iconic songs like "Love to Love You Baby" and "Hot Stuff" made her a global icon, selling more than 140 million records worldwide.
Her influence extends beyond disco, impacting genres such as electronic music, house, and modern hip-hop. Summer's legacy is deeply rooted in Boston; from singing in Mission Hill churches to having a street renamed in her honor, she remains a beloved figure in the Boston community.
Donna Summer's Disco Party celebrates its 11th edition this year, paying tribute to her contributions to music and culture.
