From the pit

Saturday night, Boston City Hall Plaza turned into a hip hop nightclub, and it didn't cost a dime. The Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture covered every ticket for Now or Never: Powerhouse, so the whole city could pull up.

DJs on the decks, live music, and Boston's creatives all in one spot, right in the middle of downtown. Nights like this show what this city's culture looks like when you give it room to breathe.
