Boston After Dark
Free teen events from 5 - 9 p.m. on Friday nights - all summer long!
Boston After Dark promotes youth summer engagement throughout the summer by creating safe and fun spaces for teens (14-18 year olds). Boston After Dark events take place throughout the duration of BPS summer recess during Friday evenings between the hours of 5 - 9 p.m. The goal is to activate spaces across Boston’s neighborhoods in collaboration with BCYF and YMCA centers. Past events included basketball tournaments, paint nights, pool parties, movie nights, rollerskating, and more. All events include free food, merch giveaways, and a live DJ.
