Come with us!!About this EventBomba by the Sea: Spectacle Island Birthday Bombazo, presented by Eli Pabón and BOMBAntillana.Sunday, September 6, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 5:30 PM | Spectacle Island | Ferry from BostonFor our final 2026 Bomba by the Sea summer series installment, we are taking a Ferry to Spectacle Island, an island on the Boston Harbor. Bomba By The Sea: Spectacle Island Birthday Bombazo will be a free, intergenerational cultural arts gathering rooted in Bomba, an Afro–Indigenous Puerto Rican folkloric tradition. Let's celebrate life, ancestry, and collective joy through Bomba music, movement, and shared rituals.For over 400 years in Borikén (Puerto Rico), Bomba has functioned as a tool for healing, resistance, storytelling, and community connection. Historically, Bomba gatherings marked important communal milestones—births, birthdays, marriages, rites of passage, labor, and mourning—creating space to affirm life and strengthen bonds. This birthday-themed gathering taking place on another island draws from that lineage while offering a contemporary, culturally affirming space for Boston’s diverse communities to experience an AfroIndigenous–Puerto Rican tradition in an accessible and welcoming environment on one of our Harbor Islands. This event welcomes all ages and backgrounds.This event was made possible in part by the support of La Sala in Nubian Square and by the Innovation Harbor Grant Program, which aims to empower and invest in local groups and organizations by supporting events and programs on the Boston Harbor Islands and Boston Harborwalk.
