Boston’s unofficial summer kickoff party, Harpoonfest, returns to the Seaport this year and is sponsored by Dunkin’. The “Dunkin’ Spiked Day of the DJ,” a daytime electronic music festival, runs from noon to 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 18 at the Harpoon Brewery in the Seaport.

The dance party will feature eight different DJ sets throughout the day, along with lawn games from Life is Good and plenty of adult beverages. They’ll serve up four of Harpoon’s most popular summertime brews on draft — Harpoon IPA, Rec. League, Juicer Hazy IPA, and Summer Style — along with Dunkin’ Spiked iced coffee and iced tea and a few other brews from local companies like UFO and Clown Shoes.

Local food trucks like Chicken & Rice Guys, Paisani, Pennypacker’s, Gangnam Spice, and Revelry N’Awlins will be onsite serving up bites all day, and the DJ sets kick off at noon with a set by LightFoot. The music wraps up with DJ Frank White from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
