On Saturday, October 22, 2022 the 23rd Great Halloween Lantern Parade & Festival was presented by Creative Alliance and The Friends of Patterson Park. The festival included a costume contest for kids and families, lantern making, performances, an arts & crafts market, an array of food and treats from local food trucks, and the glowing parade procession from Patterson Park to the Pulaski Monument after dark.
Merkin Dream III expanded on themes of women’s rights, sex work, body image, and dysphoria through bold design, movement, and performance.
For me, going to the archives is a mental health and wellness practice. Seeing queer memories feels really healing.
This October 10-12th, Subscape showcased experimental and genre-defying music from punk and noise to electronic and indie rock with a strong emphasis on local and regional talent.
