Chicago is a Drag Festival
"After making its debut in 2019 and hosting an online edition during the pandemic, the Chicago is a Drag Festival returns this year for an outdoor, in-person celebration of Chicago's thriving drag scene complete with performances from kings, queens and other queer performers. A lineup hasn't been announced yet, but you might consider snagging early bird tickets now—the fest sold out for its 2019 debut." - from https://www.timeout.com/chicago/things-to-do/chicago-is-a-drag-festival , more information can be found there

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is Pillars Market? It is a space for POC vendors and artists of trans experience! The pillar is a symbol of support, stability and strength. Currently, Trans artists and vendors are in need of support, therefore the purpose of the Pillars Market is to create space for Black and Brown trans folks to showcase their work and create more visibility of the small businesses owned by these communities. Pillars not only represents the trans vendors and artists who are the strong foundations of the community by providing their practices and art, but it also represents the people welcomed into the space to be pillars themselves by buying and helping vendors and artists grow." - from @transchicagoorg on instagram
