9th Annual Queer Voices: A Tardeada

In a time when LGBTQ+ rights are increasingly under attack across the country, San Antonio stands tall — louder, prouder, and more unified than ever. The 9th Annual Queer Voices Tardeada returns as both celebration and sanctuary: a day of joy, resilience, and radical togetherness that reminds us we are not alone — we are a force. Brought to life by Anel Flores of Anel I. Flores Studios and Chibbi Orduña of Gem.In.Eyes Productions and , in collaboration with the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center, this year’s Tardeada brings more than performances and parties — it brings power to the people. Whether you’re here to dance, be seen, be supported, or simply rest in the comfort of community, the Queer Voices Tardeada offers something for everyone: - Queer Resource Fair (2–6 PM) Access information and support from organizations doing life-saving work, including: • Know Your Rights & Legal Updates • Planned Parenthood South Texas • Equality Texas • TENT (Transgender Education Network of Texas) • Thrive Youth Center • Kind Clinic • AARC (Alamo Area Resource Center) / HIV Testing • SA Repro Because joy is essential — and so is knowing your options. - Queer Clothing Swap (2-6 PM) Find gender-affirming threads, swap styles, and show up as your truest self. No donation required. Private changing spaces are available. - Cuir Blessing Ceremony (4-6 PM) Receive a grounding spiritual blessing from the Cuir Curanderes — inviting peace, strength, and protection into your journey. - Food, Music & Mercado (All Day!) Sip, snack, and shop! Grab a plate, pick up some art, and vibe to the beats. Play games, meet new friends, and support local artists and makers at the Mini Mercado. - Evening Showcase (6–8 PM) When the sun dips low, the stage lights up. Join us for a show-stopping lineup featuring drag, burlesque, poetry, and live music from some of the fiercest queer artists in the city: LITERARY VOICES • Shelly Ettinger • Steph Hinojosa • Gume Laurel • Julian and Jamie Renee Ledesma • Angela Weddle MUSIC • Azul Barrientos BURLESQUE • Chola La Magnolia DRAG KING • King Piquin ───────────────── This event is free and open to all, because pride should never come with a price tag.
