LESBEAUX: A Sapphic Dance Party

Live music and singalongs on Monday nights at The Edge, where the drinks are cheap (2-for-1 specials) and the crowd knows every word. A neighborhood bar doing what it does best — good company, good songs, and reasons to come back.

The third anthology from DOPAMINE Books explores the clown in all its forms—from the vulnerability of falling in love to the subversive magic of not giving a fuck. This collection of poetry, fiction, screenplay, and more features work from Megan Milks, Tania De Rozario, Nicole J. Georges, Julián Delgado Lopera, Justin Chin, Andrea Lawlor, and other queer voices who find liberation in the archetype. Michelle Tea hosts an evening that gets under your skin and liberates your own inner clown, be it smart-ass, trickster, or holy fool.

The weekly Monday night gathering at San Francisco's legendary leather bar — a standing tradition in the city's cruising and leather community. Powerhouse's raw, industrial vibe and authentic atmosphere draw regulars and newcomers alike who come for the scene, the sling room, and the unfiltered energy that defines this historic Folsom Street institution.

Monday nights at the Eagle belong to Dana and her legendary Big Ass Book of songs — a curated collection that goes way beyond the usual suspects. Expect to find yourself singing things you never thought you'd karaoke to, surrounded by a crowd that's here to have genuine fun, not judge. 8pm til close.

Fashion show returns to celebrate expression as activism and community as couture. A night of fierce, intentional style that's unapologetically queer — runway moments that matter, designed by and for the people who get it.

No-cover Sunday at Badlands means DJ Visack spinning from 6–10pm, then DJ Mario taking it to close. BOGO cocktails and happy hour until 8:30pm make it easy to start the evening early, grab your crew, and dance into the night while the Castro's still got that golden-hour energy.
