Calavera LGBTQ Festival

After a year of pause, the Calavera LGBTQ Festival is back—and more vibrant than ever. Join us in Boyle Heights as we celebrate Día de los Muertos through a queer Latine/x lens. This beloved tradition returns with powerful community altars, soul-stirring vendors, Folklórico and Aztec dance, and the iconic Mx. Calavera drag contest. More than just a festival, it’s a space where memory, culture, and queerness unite—where we honor our ancestors, uplift our stories, and move forward together. Proceeds will support LEA’s life-changing work with LGBTQ youth and families. Come dressed in your finest calavera look, and help us make this a day to remember.
