Queerly Festival 2025: A Bold Celebration of LGBTQ+ Art and Resistance

June 12 – July 3, 2025

UNDER St. Marks, 94 St Marks Pl, New York, NY 10009

Tickets: $25 in-person, $20 streaming. Available at www.frigid.nyc

The 11th annual Queerly Festival, presented by FRIGID New York, returns to UNDER St. Marks with an electrifying lineup of original performances that boldly center queer voices and lived experiences. Running from June 12 through July 3, this year’s theme, “Revolting Queers,” is a rallying cry against erasure, censorship, and compromise. In response to escalating threats against LGBTQIA2S+ rights, Queerly 2025 unleashes a celebration of resistance, creativity, and unapologetic self-expression.

True to its founding purpose, Queerly offers a platform where queer and trans artists can share their work without watering down content to suit mainstream audiences. This year’s program spans genres and forms—from burlesque and experimental theater to stand-up comedy, music, spoken word, and drag—amplifying the resilience, rage, joy, and radical defiance of the community.
