Boston!! We’re closing out the summer the right way ☀️


Saturday, September 12th | 2–6PM | The Greenway (Atlantic Avenue & Seaport Boulevard, Boston, MA, 02210)

(rain date: Sunday, September 13th)


We’re throwing a celebratory send-off for Ja’Hari Ortega’s (@ja_hari713) “Big Hoops to Fill” — plus an announcement about what’s next for the piece.


Co-imagined by SIDE Presents (@sidepresents) + artist Ja’Hari Ortega. Here’s who’s pulling up:


🎤 Courtney B, the Voice of Boston (@courtneyboston_) — your host for the day

🎧 DJ Cha (@djcha_) + DJ Troy Frost (@djtroyfrost) — holding down the sonic vibes

🕺🏾 Rhythm Riders (@bostonrhythmridersldm) — line dancing, come learn the steps

🤸🏾‍♀️ Essence of Diamonds and Pearls Youth Group Inc. — double dutch, jump in!

♠️ Miranda Rae (@itsmirandarae) + Tiana (@trizzae ) — running the spades & chess tournament tables


🎲 Play activites, lawn games, hula-hoops...

🔉Stage & sound by @hsp_event_production


Bring the kids. Bring your granny. Bring the group chat.


⏰ Here are 2 ways to enjoy the day:


🚶🏾‍♀️ ART WALK → Art Girl Walk Club (@artgirlwalkclub) is hosting their walking tour with the Triennial, stepping off at 1PM and arriving at the hoops right at 2PM. Limited spots, separate sign-up, first come first served.


🎉 ART PARTY → 2–6PM on The Greenway. No ticket required. Free and open to every single person reading this.


Walk’s full? Can’t make 1PM? Don’t feel like walking? notaproblem — the party is still yours. They’re two different things and you don’t need one to get the other!


🔗 RSVP at the eventbrite link for updates!


Installed in 2025, “Big Hoops to Fill” took home Artsy Editorial’s “Best Public Art of 2025” and “Best Hidden Gem” in Boston Magazine’s 2025 Best of Boston.


Come play. Come dance. Come say goodbye. See you on The Greenway.
