Carnival has always been a loud, proud celebration of culture and tradition across the world, with people flooding the streets unapologetically in their boldest and brightest to rejoice in their community. We’ve been offered an amazing opportunity to make our Carnival event just that. With almost 1000 people interested in attending our event, we’ve decided to do it bigger and better and stay true to the heart of this significant cultural event that means so much to so many. Get ready for Peach x Party Noire Present: Pound the Alarm, a queer ode to Carnival – An all-day takeover of Market Days on August 11th! We are giving you a huge main stage with full production and a full 10 hours of POC & Queer programming in the streets of Chicago.
With this pivot, this means many things… all ages and suggested donation ONLY. Allowing us to proudly present this event to be accessible for all! All tickets for our original Carnival event will be refunded.
This is a historic moment for our POC and queer community in Chicago to make our presence and voice known on North Halsted, with two of your favorite queer collectives giving you a stage with incredible production, full stage design, DJs, dancers, surprise performers, and more. Spread the news and help us make our mark on August 11. More details to come on this day to remember.
