Join us on Sunday, June 14, at 2 p.m. for another spectacular Queer Voices 2026: A Tardeada!San Antonio Rallies Around Queer Voices for the 9th Annual Quuer Voices Tardeada: Community, Culture, and Collective Power for Pride Month.
In a time when LGBTQ+ rights are increasingly under attack across the country, San Antonio stands tall — louder, prouder, and more unified than ever. The 9th Annual Queer Voices Tardeada returns as both celebration and sanctuary: a day of joy, resilience, and radical togetherness that reminds us we are not alone — we are a force.
Brought to life by Anel Flores of Anel I. Flores Studios and Chibbi Orduña of Gem.In.Eyes Productions and , in collaboration with the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center, this year’s Tardeada brings more than performances and parties — it brings power to the people.
Whether you’re here to dance, be seen, be supported, or simply rest in the comfort of community, the Queer Voices Tardeada offers something for everyone:
