BAMS FESTIVAL - 2025.06.28 _faithwinphotos-77.jpg

Welcome to BAMS Fest!

We  exist to amplify and create opportunities for artists and creatives of color by supporting and building a healthy Black arts ecosystem and creative economy across Greater Boston and beyond.

Our
2026 Programming:

Rewind. Reflect. Remix.

As the national landscape of cultural events continues to shift, we’ve embraced this moment to reimagine meaningful ways to bring people together—centered in joy, rooted in community, and driven by the power of the arts.

 

While we remain dedicated to the artists and communities we serve, we have chosen to postpone our signature annual program, BAMS Festival, until 2027. This pause allows us to proactively ensure that our excellence in program delivery, public safety, and environmental stewardship remains at the highest level. We make no compromise on the integrity of our mission and vision.

 

For 2026, we are ramping up MOMENTUM—a series of free and paid citywide events which successfully launched in June 2025 to amplify Greater Boston’s Creative Economy over five days. MOMENTUM celebrates unapologetic dopeness, creativity, and joy at the intersections of culture, arts, entertainment, entrepreneurship, and social impact.

Join us in sustaining creativity, collaboration, culture and community.
