THU/14-SUN/17: OAKLASH FESTIVAL
An extravagant blast of positive and community-oriented drag energy, in this economy? Heck yeah. From a “used clown emporium” to a ginormous block party full of more sky-high wigs than you can shake a stick at, this nine-year-old Oakland endeavor, founded by Mama Celeste and Beatrix LaHaine, has grown more terrific, and important, as history has regressed. Get out and dance, nibble, drink, learn, tease, and of course tip!
SAT/16: DJ YUKA YU AT OAKLASH BLOCK PARTY
You really want to “turn all the way up”? Here we go. The filmmaker, sound artist, DJ, and producer originally from Taipei will be performing at the Party Stage at Oaklash Block Party, part of the Oalash Festival, this coming Saturday. While the event will have you feeling energized from the start, if you have Boost Juice left by 6pm, be sure to stop by to see Yu set it off with her sets that sometimes feature samples from traditional Asian music. Listen, the Oaklash Block Party is a full deal: 60 performers, 50 food and art vendors, 7 DJs, 4 blocks, 2 stages, and thousands of q***r and trans people living their fantasy. Stay hydrated, peeps. 1pm-8pm, Old Oakland.
