Big Gay Prom returns for another evening of glitter, glamour, and unapologetic joy. Join us for dinner, dazzling drag performances, the crowning of prom royalty, and professional prom portraits to commemorate the night. Hosted by Remnant Brewing & Dearly Studio.

This year, we’re proud to partner with BAGLY (The Boston Alliance of LGBTQ+ Youth), a youth-led, adult-supported organization that has spent nearly 50 years supporting LGBTQ+ youth across Massachusetts through advocacy, community programs, and social support services.

Whether you're reliving the prom you deserved or attending your very first one, come dressed to impress, hit the dance floor, and celebrate queer joy in all its forms.

Bow Market and Flagg Street Studio invite you to celebrate the world’s game with friends, neighbors, and fellow footy fanatics from July 9th – 19th. Beginning in the quarterfinal round, choose from two ways to watch: outside in the courtyard or inside Upstairs at Bow's Clubhouse. 

The courtyard will feature a large-screen match broadcast, food and drink specials, Somerville Youth Soccer giveaways, and an open-air crowd atmosphere. For a more elevated experience, reserve a table for four inside the Clubhouse that comes with a limited-edition jersey per person and a round of four themed cocktails by Nook.

We love our neighbors & regulars. You're invited to Good Neighbor, our way of recognizing the people who make this place feel like home.

We believe our proximity to each other is our superpower, so we’ve come together to offer something to celebrate the people who keep showing up (i.e. YOU!). Fill out this form to join for perks, early invites, last-minute opportunities, and special access from Bow Market businesses.

It’s a small way to say thanks for being our neighbor.

PS. Once you have completed the form, we will send you a Good Neighbor card in the mail that you can use at participating Good Neighbor businesses listed here.
