Join us on Saturday 5th July from 20:00 - 02:00 am to enjoy an Alternative Pride Party outside the commercial Pride hype. We're taking over COVEN, a brand-new queer bar and arts space in Hackney Wick. Walk through the portal and step into a new era of queer nightlife and community. Whether you’re ready to dance all night or relax in the outdoor terrace with good company, there’s a vibe for everyone. The Alternative Pride Party is an annual celebration by Moonlight Experiences that centres BIPOC queers and brings together a vibrant mix of change-makers, creatives, community builders, and weavers. The event is open to all queers, non-binary folks, trans people, lesbians, dykes, bi babes, the beautifully unlabelled, and allies who want to celebrate within East London’s queer scene. This is the perfect place to get to know new people and listen to some great music from some emerging and talented DJs.
These powerhouse DJs bring an electrifying mix of genres spanning through Afrobeats, Dancehall, Soca, R&B, Hip-Hop, Funky House, Reggaeton, Pop, and more. From nostalgic Y2K edits to deep global cuts and high-octane carnival rhythms, their sounds are rooted in liberation.
Together, they will create dancefloor experiences that are genre-defying, boundary-pushing, and unapologetically queer to enjoy Pride. SCARBA, Bonnèt Thee Mixtress, Lyvonne The Don, Trojan, Wardi (Host) Doors open at 20:00 (drop by early to beat the rush or meet some people if you are dropping by solo) Djs from 21:00 Party until 2 am (last entry at 1 am).
Please note the event is taking upstairs at Coven (above Fabwick) which is currently not wheelchair accessible.
