The Castro Street Fair has announced a new partnership with Another Planet Entertainment and The Castro Theatre, extending this year\u2019s celebration into the evening with the Official Castro Street Fair After Party, presented by beloved San Francisco queer dance party Polyglamorous.<\/p>\n
Following the 52nd Annual Castro Street Fair on Sunday, October 4, Polyglamorous will take over the iconic Castro Theatre with internationally acclaimed DJ Octo Octa, joined by Polyglamorous residents BEYA and Mark O\u2019Brien. Doors will open at 5:30 pm, with the show beginning at 6 pm. The event will be for all ages.<\/p>\n
The collaboration will bring together organizations deeply connected to San Francisco\u2019s LGBTQIA+ cultural life: the Castro Street Fair, founded by Harvey Milk in 1974; the historic Castro Theatre; Another Planet Entertainment; and Polyglamorous, which has been bringing queer dancers together across San Francisco since 2015.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018Where We Belong\u2019 is the theme of this year\u2019s Castro Street Fair, and we see Polyglamorous as a wonderful extension of that celebration into the evening,\u201d said Arturo N\u00e1jera, Jr., Entertainment Chair, Castro Street Fair. \u201cWe hope this partnership helps create an even bigger opportunity for our community to come together while also supporting the local businesses and venues that make the Castro such a special place. We\u2019re especially grateful to Another Planet Entertainment for their sponsorship of this year\u2019s Fair and for helping us extend the spirit of the Fair beyond the streets and into the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another Planet Entertainment\u2019s partnership with the Fair comes as The Castro Theatre enters a new chapter following an extensive rehabilitation designed to preserve the historic landmark while expanding the range of live performances and cultural programming it can host.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Castro Street Fair\u2019s history in San Francisco is undeniable\u2014and for so many years the iconic Castro Theatre blade sign has been in the background of those photos and memories,\u201d said Garrett Blanchard of Another Planet Entertainment. \u201cNaturally, we are excited to host the Castro Street Fair afterparty at the theatre this year\u2014in collaboration with local queer dance party Polyglamorous. Hope to see you out there!\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded at Oasis when the venue opened in 2015, Polyglamorous has built a devoted following through residencies and events in and around San Francisco\u2019s SoMa neighborhood, including annual staples Pink Block and Sneaks. The collective showcases a diverse range of underground talent and aims to create a welcoming space for people from across the community to cut loose, dance, and celebrate themselves.<\/p>\n
October 4 marks the first event Polyglamorous has produced in the Castro neighborhood.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re so excited to be hosting this event at the iconic Castro Theatre,\u201d said Polyglamorous Co-Founder Mark O\u2019Brien. \u201cBen and I have both lived in the Castro, and it means so much for us to have the opportunity to collaborate with the Castro Street Fair.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOcto Octa is a world-renowned DJ, and we are lucky to have already presented some amazing events with her,\u201d said Ben Bellayuto (BEYA). \u201cShe has a way of radiating joy and energy to the dance floor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Octo Octa, the performing name of Maya Bouldry-Morrison, spent years as an IDM artist and sound designer before her 2011 debut EP, Let Me See You, introduced her to a wider international house-music audience. Since then, her blend of detailed sound design, composition, and dance-floor rhythms has taken her around the world. In 2019, she co-founded the label T4T LUV NRG with her partner Eris Drew, continuing to explore themes of togetherness, embodiment, love, healing, and survival through her music.<\/p>\n
