It's time to boogie the night away during the Donna Summer Disco Party. The groovy tradition is heading to City Hall Plaza on Thursday, June 27 from 5 to 9 p.m.

Details about Donna

The "Queen of Disco" is a Boston native. She was born in Dorchester and grew up on Parker Hill Avenue in Mission Hill, which has been officially renamed Donna Summer Avenue.

Born LaDonna Gaines, the five-time Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter found her voice by singing at the Grant AME Church in the South End with her family.

After she died from cancer at the age of 62 in 2012, our city began honoring the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician's legacy + Boston roots every summer. The annual tribute is hosted by Mayor Wu and the Office of Tourism, Sports, and Entertainment.
