Riverside Beats: Inclusive Outdoor Dance Party
July 16 @ 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Riverside Beats, a series of two inclusive outdoor dance parties, is returning to Riverside Park this summer. Organized by local dance music crew New Moon Dance Party, Riverside Beats will feature multiple DJs bringing house, disco, funk, and techno vibes to the edge of the Acushnet River.
These free events will occur at Riverside Park on the following schedule: Sunday, July 16, 4–8 p.m.; Sunday, September 3, 4–8 p.m. (with rain dates: 7/23 and 9/10).
Guest DJs for the first Riverside Beats on July 16 are the providence-based crew Soul Teknology, including DJs Mike Delick and Yummy. Soul Teknology are purveyors of soulful/deep/Afro house music and the force behind many fantastic dance nights in Providence. New Moon resident DJ Neil Matheson will be on warmup duties. Closing out the summer season for New Moon, September’s guest will be local DJ Ben Berte.
The Marie Equi Zine Library (MEZL) will be onsite again this year to provide the people of New Bedford with access to radical queer feminist zines and other publications.
