Saturday, June 27 • 5–9pm
(with a 21+ afterparty to follow)

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. 

Friday, June 5th from 7-9pm

Just Plain Gay is Rebel Rebel's Pride party—and it's exactly what it sounds like. A celebration of us, just as we are; no concept, no costume. Just our community, our wines, our people, and a really good party.

We'll be pouring from our favorite queer producers, bopping with the Spin The Bottle DJ collective, slinging Solid Wiggles Jell-O shots and frozé ice pops, and dropping limited-edition merch—both faves from the archive and a few new ones. Bow Market vendors have food specials all day, and we've got crafts for the kids (and kids at heart).

Attendees are encouraged to dress to impress and feel your best! Ball gown? Great. Jeans and a crop top? Incredible. You do you. That's what today is for.

As always, this is your post-parade, pre-club, all ages party. All are welcome—we’ve got crafts and temporary tattoos for the kids and kids at heart.

RSVP so we know how much frozé to make!

2) Show up on race day! Pine-Car Derby at Bow Market is Sunday, April 26th. Make sure to register now. Race your car with friends, family, and community! You can also win prizes for design! See below for all the details.

Bow Market and Somerville Cub Scouts Pack 3 is excited to host the 1st annual Bow Market Pine-Car Derby! On Sunday, April 26th (Rain Date Sunday, May 3rd). Participants and teams in this all-ages event will create a car from a block of wood to race for prizes. Funds raised will support scouting in Somerville.

Test your mettal to see if you have what it takes to take the checkered flag! 

What is a Pine-Car Derby?

What is a Pine-Car Derby? Inspired by Scouting’s Pinewood Derby, our Pine-Car derby lets participants build a model car from scratch with pinewood, wheels, axles and a bit of creativity. The cars roll down a special sloped track and the first one to the finish gate wins. See a video clip of the Pack 3 2025 Pinewood Derby here.

The official kit can be bought at the infosession on 4/4, at the Scout Shop in Woburn, online from the Scout shop, or online at Amazon (they’re more expensive on Amazon).

We are offering two categories: One for classic cars that meet all the standard rules of Pinewood Derby cars and the Somervillain category where almost anything goes.

Please read the linked Rules and Frequently Asked Questions document for specific rules. It’s trickier than you’d think to create a car that meets requirements for this classic race, and it requires a bit of strategy to win. If a car registered for the classic race does not comply with classic race rules at check-in, their registration will be transferred to the Somervillain race so long as they meet the rules of that race. If a car does not comply with the rules of either race, it cannot race but it will still be eligible for the design awards.

Link to additional rules and frequently asked questions.
