Special Guests
Lou Jones
Photographer, documentarian, and chronicler of Boston's Bicentennial and “Where's Boston”
We are proud to honor Lou Jones for his extraordinary work capturing Boston’s communities during the nation’s Bicentennial, and for reminding us of the power of images to shape collective memory and public consciousness. His work helps us understand that history is not just what happens, but how it’s seen, shared, and preserved. Jones began his photography career in 1971 and has maintained his Boston based studio since.
During this year’s House Party, guests will have the opportunity to experience a digital showcase of his work, curated in partnership with Lou, and to join us in celebrating a living legend of Boston’s creative and cultural history.
Chef Dave's
We’re thrilled to welcome the team at Chef Dave's back for another year!
Chef David Welch began his culinary career over 20 years ago as a produce buyer at Boston’s beloved Formaggio Kitchen. It didn’t take long for his talent to stand out—soon, the Formaggio team tapped him to launch “Dave’s Grill,” a BBQ division that quickly drew a loyal following. Building on that success, Chef Dave launched a private chef service, bringing his bold, flavorful cooking into the homes of an ever-growing list of distinguished clients.
For House Party 2025, Chef Dave will once again wow the crowd—this time curating revolutionary-inspired flavors using seasonal ingredients. Expect bold, surprising bites that honor history while pushing creative boundaries.
