2025 was OUTsider’s Year of Monstrosity, and what better way to pregame Halloween than by joining us for an evening celebrating our queer and monstrous selves.

Hosted by B. Nassty, OUTsider’s Monster Bash will feature a special performance by queer Chicana singer and composer San Cha, along with performances by your local OUTsider queerdos.

Enjoy a silent auction showcasing the work of Austin’s beloved queer and ally businesses and artists, plus an open bar with both cocktails and non-alcoholic options.

Come get your shoes shined and your fortune read, and don’t forget to wear your spookiest costume for our costume contest! Winner gets a 2026 festival badge!
