Who: You
What: HOT Festival Opening Night Party
Where: 161 Chrystie St. In the Lounge
When: Monday, July 6, 2026 7:00 PM, Performances at 7:30
Join us as we kick off the 34th annual HOT Festival and celebrate 40 years of Dixon Place with a night of queer brilliance, bold performances, cheap drinks, beautiful people, and the kind of electric energy that only happens when artists take over the room. Come dressed to flirt, mingle, dance, and toast another year of revolutionary queer art.
The highlight of the night? Our Speed Dating Super Share — two hot minutes of show business from some of our featured HOT Festival artists. It’s fast. It’s festive. It’s probably the only time this many of y’all will be in the same room at once. Think family reunion meets open mic meets skill share — but hella gay.
Pride may be “officially” over, but at Dixon Place, we stay gay. Come through, cheer loud, flirt responsibly, and help us kick off HOT Festival the only way we know how.
See you there!
