BVD Boston

BVD Boston is a nightlife and events company producing Afro-Caribbean and Black culture parties across Boston. Its calendar mixes weekly residencies with one-off specials built around Afrobeats, Amapiano, soca, dancehall, reggae, Haitian music, hip-hop, R&B and house. The company organizes its events into four distinct series, each with its own sound, crowd and energy, and sells tickets, tables and presale access for its parties.

COCO, one of its cornerstone series, gathers the music of the global diaspora and has drawn thousands of partygoers over the years. BEND OVA channels Carnival with flag-waving soca, dancehall and bouyon, while ZOE celebrates Haiti through konpa and rabòday. BLACKaf is an all-Black party for professionals, creatives and tastemakers. Special editions mark occasions such as Nigerian Independence weekend and Halloween, and each series aims for a welcoming, high-energy dance floor.
