TBA:19 Late Night

‘JUDY' is a queer party that materializes every last Saturday night of the month at a dive bar in Portland, Oregon. Run by queer women and exclusively featuring female identified, trans, and non-binary DJs, JUDY was started in 2014. Each month, JUDY features hand-drawn flyers of community members, party people, and over-the-top queens, with the ritual of crowning of a new “Judy” at every party.

'JUDY' is the collaboration of DJs, artists, and friends; Kayla Oh (Sham Sisqo), Ana Briseño (Casual Aztec), and Megan Holmes (Troubled Youth). Originally created in response to the void of queer femme DJs in dance spaces, its creators wanted to sweat, make out, scream, and throw their shirts off to music, to feel the confirmation of sexual freedom while also seeing the visibility and work of incredible artists. JUDY is dedicated to supporting Queer community through nightlife. SHOUT OUT TO ALL JUDYS, JUDES, AND COOL ASS FREAKS.
