Event description

ANNOUNCING THE SECOND ANNUAL QUEERCORE FEST!!

DATES: September 12th and 13th

PLACE: CitySpace, Easthampton, MA

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.

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