Northalsted Market Days
Early Aug, 2010 (TBA)
What started out as a small little outdoor fair back in the early 1980s has now grown into one of the biggest street festivals in the Midwest. Smack dab in the middle of Boystown, there are more than 400 vendors, three performance stages and tens of thousands of visitors to this two-day event.
Femme 2010: the Architecture of Femme
Mid-Aug, 2010 (TBA)
"Our conferences seek to explore, discuss, dissect, and support Queer Femme* as a transgressive, gender-queer, stand-alone, and empowered identity and provide a space for organizing and activism within Queer communities. We hope to attract people of all genders who are interested in a deeper understanding of Femme identity, culture, and history as well as Femmes interested in learning, teaching, connecting, and building community geared towards social change." The 2008 edition took place in Chicago, and we're assuming it will happen there in 2010 as well.
