For more than 27 years, the Esme Women’s Block Party has been bringing thousands of womxn together during Boston Pride Weekend for one unforgettable celebration of music, community, and queer joy.

What started as a gathering for women in the LGBTQ+ community has grown into one of the most iconic Boston Pride events for sapphics, queer women, nonbinary folks, and allies from across New England and beyond.

And every year, the energy is electric.

🌈 Esme Pride Block Party A Boston Pride Tradition for the Community

For many people, Esme isn’t just another party.

It’s tradition.

Friends travel in from all over:• Massachusetts• Rhode Island• Connecticut• Vermont• New Hampshire• New York and beyond

Some reunite with chosen family they only see once a year. Others come to experience their very first Pride surrounded by community.

No matter where you’re from, once you step into the block party — you feel it.

That feeling of belonging.

🎶 Music, Dancing & Summer Energy - Pride Block Party

Located in the heart of Boston after the Pride Parade, the Esme Women’s Block Party transforms the St James Ave into a full outdoor celebration.

Expect:• DJs and dancing• Outdoor bars and summer cocktails• Thousands of LGBTQ+ attendees• High-energy performances• Beautiful Pride weekend vibes

It’s the perfect mix of Pride celebration, nightlife, and community gathering all in one space.

👯 More Than a Party

What has kept Esme going strong for nearly three decades isn’t just the music or the crowd — it’s the connections people make here.

Friendships.Relationships.Chosen family.

For many attendees, Esme became one of the few spaces where queer women could openly gather, celebrate, and simply exist together.

And that spirit is still alive today.
