Turn It Up: Celebrating 5 Years of Litquake Out Loud

Enjoy late September’s Out Loud series in Yerba Buena Gardens? We hope so. We’ve been doing this for five whole years now—handing the reins over to event curators from the Bay Area’s BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities to do what they do. Celebrate with 2025’s Out Loud curators, Sarah O’Neal, Diego Plascencia-Vega, and D’mani Thomas, as well as a few OL curators of yore, Josiah Luis Alderete and Jenny Qi, at the Make-Out. Emceed by (and featuring) our illustrious Out Loud Program Manager, Giovanna Lomanto. Doors at 6:30pm. $12 adv / $15 door
