2026 Mission Hill Arts Festival - AUG 29

Music, Arts, Conversation and More

Presenting both established and new-on-the-scene artists, and a wide variety of styles, making the festival popular with everyone, in a vibrant atmosphere.

The Festival, born of the community, has now grown to a dynamic and thriving gathering of artists and art enthusiasts, of all ages and life contexts, from Boston and beyond.

The sustaining energy and vitality of the Festival is generated by the collective desire of the community, audience, artists, collaborators, supporters, and volunteers to actively participate, to enrich one another, and be enriched by the arts.

2026 THEME & ARTISTS LINEUP

Theme: A RHYTHM WITHIN

RHYTHM, the regular, recurring pattern of sounds, movements, or life events is fundamental to our lives just as much as to the arts! In our own life, the interplay of strong and weak beats or stressed/unstressed elements create patterns and a steady sense of flow, sustaining our own originality!
How’s your rhythm?

Lineup:

Aug 1 - Shane Sager

Aug 15 - HSTF Batey Comunitario

Aug 29 - DADA Quartet

Venezuelan Rhythms

Saturday, AUGUST 29 - 5:00PM

THIS EVENT IS PRESENTED IN COLLABORATION WITH:

DADA is a Venezuelan vocal quartet redefining Venezuelan root-based music through a contemporary lens and a global perspective.

Formed by Adrián Guardián, Dani Martell, Adriana Duque, and Daniella Ravelo, the project centers on a polyphonic approach combining vocal virtuosity, compositional sensitivity, and sonic exploration that bridges tradition and renewal.

DADA’s first chapter took shape in 2022 with the release of 'Cuatro', a tribute to Venezuela’s national instrument produced by Casa Limón.

In 2026 DADA is releasing its first full-length album, 'Amalgama—Framed' as a special and celebratory project within the individual trajectories of its members and within the broader dialogue between Venezuelan music and the world today.
