A team up of three local powerhouses – burlesque troupe Shea Butter Babies, cutting-edge drag and makeup artist Gothess Jasmine, and Central Texas’ ballroom House of Lepore – bring what Gothess calls “the biggest, blackest, and QUEEREST Juneteenth Austin has experienced!” Find a Black queer market of local creators, tunes by DJ Amarji, and Black performers from the worlds of drag, pole, burlesque, and spoken word like Sir Beau Elliot, Amber Nicole Davenport, Vertarias, Diamond Dior Davenport, and many more. Plus: House of Lepore’s Freedom Ball, part of Stay Black and Live 2024. – James Scott
