MFA September Nights
This is no ordinary year, but that’s not stopping us from safely celebrating all that late summer has to offer. In the month of September, we’re excited to experience music and film together with live streamed concerts and free outdoor film screenings. We’re proud to continue our partnerships with the Roxbury International Film Festival and Boston Latino International Film Festival, and to support local musicians at a time when there are so few opportunities to enjoy live performances.
