“We are proud to celebrate six years of creating diverse, intersectional monthly marketplaces and cultural events that provide economic opportunities for BIPIOC & LGBTQIA+ community members in Austin. We find this to be an apt moment to honor our community, especially given our current legal predicament where our drag and LGBTQIA+ communities rights are in question. We believe in creating the world we want to live in, which celebrates diversity and supports Austin’s creative future, a future which depends on the vibrant contributions of all our community members. This year, we are celebrating our annual Bidi Bidi birthday on Tejano Queen, Selena’s birthday. She was such a stellar example of a go-getter creative and we are proud to showcase this event in her honor. ” said Las Ofrendas owner TK Tunchez.
