The official unofficial SXSW recommendations for your queer Austin experience
Picture this: You’re strung out from days of startup talk, and you simply can’t take another conversation about artificial intelligence that doesn’t concern how hot Jude Law is as Gigolo Joe. We here at the Institute of Queer Austin call this South by Southwest syndrome. The only cure: an unofficial party featuring local talent on local soil, free from tech talk or corporate chatter.
Keep up to date with the latest in queer Austin-area events by following Qmmunity on Instagram or checking the weekly column online at Ballroom in Central Texas continues its rise with House of Juicy Couture throwing their first unofficial SXSW ball. With Philadelphia’s own Jukeboxx as commentator, participants will be walking in categories themed around besties. Think Spongebob and Patrick, Raven and Chelsea, Barbie and Ken – but think of them c*nty, yah know? Father Akasha and Princess BabiBoi Juicy pull double duty as both hosts and DJs.
Cool off among queer friends at this trans-led festival promoting “rest, wellness, play, and healing.” With a no-alcohol policy and an analog vibe, Mutual Love Rest Fest is the perfect antidote to SXSW activation overload. Enjoy card readings from J. Marie tarot, acupuncture by AOMA, tattoos by Squiggle Tats, pizza both vegan and non from Chef Cibelli, HIV/STI testing by Kind Clinic, and much, much more.
Over 12 years in the drag business has made New York City’s Bushwig a big deal. The yearly festival gathers drag acts from around the country and globe – including talent from our very own Bat City. This South By, however, they’re goin’ country with the Bushwig South. Nine DJs, 14 drag acts, and unlimited fierceness, delivered by host Honey Baby over this drag-packed day. You’ll be wigging out from all the incredible skill on display, so pack on the got2b so that mane stays in place, babe.
