BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — The time has come to dust off your afro wigs and roller blades for the 11th annual Donna Summer Disco Party.
Featuring sounds from DJ Vince 1, a special performance by O'Mega Red, and a skating rink, attendees will dance the night away under a disco ball with glow sticks and colorful lights to their favorite Donna Summer tracks.
Summer, considered one of the most iconic artists to hail from Boston, was born in Dorchester and raised in Mission Hill. The Grammy Award-winning artist sold over 140 million records worldwide before her death at the age of 62 on May 17, 2012. The annual event celebrates her music and legacy as a Boston-born legend.
