Costume Parties

Pride Block Party is a Queer Vienna protest and celebration. It takes place in the street. It is built by the people who show up. This is a DIY effort. No sponsors. No corporate backing. It runs on time, labor, care, and commitment. It asks for participation and shared responsibility. It asks you to help build the space you want to see. May 23 14:00 to 21:00 Spörlinggasse, 1060 Vienna Throughout the day, the street becomes a shared platform. You will find: • Workshops led by community members and organizers • Performances from local artists and collectives • Info booths from organizations working across Vienna • A kids’ corner for families and younger visitors • Vendors offering food, art, and materials • Space to meet, talk, and build connections • An after-party to close the day together All donations from the event will go directly to the Queer Mutual Aid Fund. This ensures that support reaches people in the community who need it most. This Block Party is not something you attend. It is something you help create. Participation is open. You can take part in ways that match your skills and interests.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
