Pride Month in Boston came to a glorious head Saturday at Suffolk Downs when iconic artists in the LGBTQ+ community gave an electric performance at OUTLOUD Music Festival.
OUTLOUD came to Boston this year for this first time after having two years of star-studded showings in West Hollywood. The eight-hour party featured ten performances that got hundreds of people up and dancing.
In Boston, trans singer-songwriter Kim Petras and famed drag queen Trixie Mattel headlined the show, with some local LGBTQ+ artists opening the festival — such as Roxbury’s Oompa and Dorchester’s Big Body Kweeng.
Here are some photos from the event:
