The festival will begin at Little Kings with a family-oriented portion running 2–5 p.m (free for ages 12 and under) that includes sets by Blunt Bangs and Miss He, plus kid-friendly activities like face painting, temporary tattooing and crafting. The evening portion will be split between venues, with Lo Talker, Miss He, Linqua Franqa and a dance party with DJ Wav Maker at Little Kings, plus Four Eyes vs. Futo and Immaterial Possession at Hendershot’s. Food will be provided by Puma Yu’s, Rashe’s Cuisine, Mouthfeel, Choco Pronto, Pretty Boy and Chico ATL. In line with the festival’s mission, there will also be talks by community organizer Seyi Amosu, writer and activist Prosper Hedges, poet, actor and comedian Spencer Diaz Tootle, and representatives of the Athens Reproductive Justice Collective.
