ANNOUNCING THE FIRST ANNUAL QUEERCORE FEST!!

With the community ethos of a DIY basement punk show, QueerCore Fest celebrates and affirms our shared humanity with an incredible lineup of punk and hardcore bands centering BIPOC, queer, trans, gender-diverse, and femme artists. The event will include tabling by local 2slgbtqia+ organizations, a maker’s market in partnership with Yet Another Queer Pop-up Market and food trucks, creating a space for authentic connection, affirmation, and collective resistance as we come together to build the world we believe is possible.

We also believe that it is critical for our impact to reach beyond our regional community in solidarity with liberation movements worldwide. That is why QueerCore Fest will raise funds for the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund, a non-political, humanitarian organization providing essential care for children and families in Gaza and the surrounding region.

The music will be loud! The voices will be proud! And, we want you there to be a part of it with us!

PLACE: CitySpace, 43 Main St, Easthampton, MA

FUNDRAISING DETAILS:

As a local event with the goal of supporting a vibrantly interconnected queer and allied community, we believe it is vital to reach out with similar intention in solidarity with other marginalized and oppressed people’s around the world. That is why all proceeds after payments to bands and venue rental will be donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), a non-political humanitarian organization providing essential care and supplies to children and families in Gaza and the surrounding region for over thirty years.
