Dyke Night Productions
This used to be the name of a party that took place every Friday night, but now it's more seen as a popular lesbian party promoter. Dyke Night has won a slew of “best ofs” for lesbian events, and these parties are usually pretty busy. Their only regular outing right now is Fourth Friday (see below), but check their website for any other upcoming events.
Escape Thursdays (Thursdays at Norvias Place)
Can't wait for the weekend, but still not ready to party hard on a Thursday night? Then this party's for you! It's an after-work cocktail party that's especially popular with African American women.

Gross Anatomy (4th or last Wednesday of the month at Milky Way)

Halo (Saturdays at Roxy-Metro)
Brought to you by the gang from the uber-successful Pure Friday events, there's now a party for the North Shore gals with Halo Saturdays. Launched in September, 2008, it will be interesting to see how this party works out in this neck of the woods, about 20 miles outside of Boston.

Jamvon Entertainment Events
One-off parties especially popular with queer women of color. Check website for dates and locations.
Lezbns'N'Power Events
Girl power party promoters, these events are especially popular with African American women. This group is fairly new in the Boston scene, so it will be interesting to see how they grow over time.

"Eileen Dover spins hits from your favorite punk, new wave, rock hip hop and top 40s' from the 80s 90s, 00's and everything in between! Come Queer Come often! Every Friday night at Machine in the pool hall!" Generally a boy bar, on Fridays girls drop by for this party in the club's pool hall.

Queeraoke / Women’s Dance Night (Thursday nights at Midway Café)
Voted best lesbian night by Dig It in 2006, Thursday nights at Midway mean lots of cool chicks dancing, getting down and letting loose. Every now and then throughout the evening they throw in a little Queeraoke and thus, an excellent party is made.

She Has Edge (Sundays at Stix Restaurant and Lounge) — New Listing!
A new party for "trendy, mature" women to end out the weekend. It's all about chillin' at the lounge, cocktails, conversation, performance and yes, even dancing.

Boston
Shine (especially on Fridays and Saturdays)
Shine is an interesting spot, part bar, part restaurant, part club. It's somewhat mixed during the day, but in the evenings, especially on the weekend, it's all ladies, all the time. There's the Friday night Sweetest Taboo party that's especially popular with African American women and on Saturdays it's the popular lesbian dance party Wet. If you're still looking for fun on Sundays, they host a mixed gay and lesbian Latin night.

The Neighborhood (every 2nd Saturday of the month at the Midway Café)
