MARKETS

Over the last five years, BPP Markets have become a space where creativity thrives, local makers shine, and community comes together in the most incredible ways. Here are just a few of the unforgettable highlights:

🎃 Halloween Bash at Fulton St. Market – the OG market now in it's fifth year!
❄️Mistletoe Market at Eastown’s Tree Lighting – holiday cheer meets handmade magic
🏳️‍🌈Pride Block Party Market – joy, music, and so much queer brilliance
🏳️‍⚧️Queer Art Mart – NEW this year and already a community favorite (you all showed up and we felt the love!)

These markets have become more than events—they're a celebration of who we are and what we create together. Thank you to every artist, vendor, neighbor, and supporter who helped turn our pop-ups into places of connection and joy. LEARN ABOUT UPCOMING MARKET OPPORTUNITIES HERE.

PARTIES

BPP Parties are where the dance floor meets the stage—locally curated, wildly creative, and totally unforgettable.

We’re talking:

🪩DJ sets that keep you moving

🎤Pop-up performances

🩶A vibe built for community

Hosted at The Pyramid Scheme, every BPP Party is crafted with care, local talent, and just the right amount of chaos. If you know, you know. If you don’t—get ready. LEARN MORE ABOUT UPCOMING PARTIES HERE

CABARET NIGHTS

Cabaret Nights at Pux began as a simple idea—an experimental community cabaret with a little vaudeville flair—and grew into something truly special.

Performance after performance, local artists lit up the stage with creative acts, heartfelt moments, and unforgettable energy. From comedy and music to drag, burlesque, and beyond, these cabarets became a space where creativity thrived and community came together.

We are grateful for every artist who took the mic, every audience that packed the house, and every magical night we shared!
