Beautiful cosmic rebels! Comfort & Joy welcomes you to the Afterglow PRIDE: Galactic Gardens - Part IV of Once Upon a Queer fairytale
About this Event

Comfort & Joy invites you to step into Part IV of our Once Upon a Queer fairytale!

June 28, 2025 | 10 PM – 6 AM | Space 550

We’re going galactic! Billboard legend headlines , where queer magic takes the cosmos. Full DJ lineup coming soon! For most recent updates check out our website or follow us on Instagram.

This time, the gates swing open to a world bursting with neon flora, queer cosmic magic, and the energy of a community that refuses to be anything but vibrant, defiant, and free.

Vines dripping with electric jewels, neon orchids blooming in wild colors no human eye has seen, and the Queermos—legendary, luminous beings who know that queerness isn’t something to prove, it’s something to celebrate. And so, we celebrate!


A night of radical queerness—every shade, every hue, every intersection of our ever-expanding, ever-glowing spectrum.

Wall-to-wall art—because we don’t just party, we build entire worlds.

Chosen family—old friends, new lovers, and future soulmates, all under one glowing sky.

Neon, glitter, and YOU—the final, essential brushstrokes in this masterpiece of queer joy.


At Comfort & Joy, we don’t just throw events—we hold space for transformation and unapologetic queer magic. This is a gathering of dreamers, artists, dancers, rebels, and lovers. A utopia built in the here and now, with color, music, and movement as our revolution.

Interested in the next and final chapter of Once Upon a Queer? That one unfolds in the dust, under the desert stars. See you at Burning Man -

The future is not written. We make it our own.

CONSENT, COMMUNITY & COSMIC CONNECTION


At Comfort & Joy, we believe the best parties are built on enthusiastic consent, clear communication, and mutual respect. If you need support—or see someone who does—our “vibe-raters” (purple glow collars) and house managers are here to help.


Consent is cosmic law: Ask before touching. “No” is a full sentence. “No, thank you” is polite. If you hear it, gracefully accept it and move on to your next adventure. Let’s create a space where everyone feels respected, adventurous, and safe.


IMMERSIVE PERKS & NEON DELIGHTS


Pride Show based on the fairytale Once Upon a Queer - more details coming soon.

Body & face painting—because nothing says “galactic royalty” like glowing skin.

Miso station—for when you need a warm cosmic recharge.

Waves of fresh fruit—because queers deserve midnight vitamins.

Professional photography & photoboothserve the look, save the memory.


Full coat & clothing check is available so you can shed your street armor and embrace your inner glam-bot. (Note: Items are stored at your own risk—leave the high-end sparkle at home!).
