Park Circle is preparing for the exciting return of Park Circle Pride this June, offering a week-long celebration with nearly 40 events across the North Charleston neighborhood. The festival, presented by Vive Le Rock Productions, will showcase drag brunches, poetry open mics, comedy shows, happy hours, and pageants at various venues throughout Park Circle.
Queer music festivals have a rich and vibrant history, tracing their roots back to back-to-land movements, circuit parties, and the need for spaces of liberation and self-expression. These festivals have played a crucial role in building community, advocating for social justice, and celebrating queer culture. Today, queer music festivals continue to thrive, with many prominent events like Coachella reflecting the influence of their predecessors through inclusivity, diverse artist lineups, and a focus on self-expression.
