Inspired by the unifying vibe at EDC and Coachella, the producers (Artificial People and DJ Tristan Jaxx Productions) felt that the LGBT community could use a festival of its own to celebrate diversity and break down barriers within it’s own community while also welcoming anyone who supports unity and the LGBT community.

Twelve DJs have been booked to play a series of events July 15-18, hosted at premium, unique venues, several of which are hosting gay events for the first time. This summer series will boast more broad and diverse sounds than one might be used to at an LGBT nightlife event. Indie, deep house, tech house, techno, progressive, house, EDM and tribal are genres that play well into this eclectic mix of people and UNITE! intends to deliver across this spectrum.

With an ever-growing fan base, FLAUNT has outgrown its humble beginnings as a pool party and has matured to bring you a daytime festival experience like no other. This year's FLAUNT will be held at the open air concert venue Quartyard. This space boasts a bad ass, concert-quality sound system, artisan food trucks, three bars featuring an array of craft beer and cocktails and a gigantic dance floor. Also, Luke Nero (Mr. Black) will be hosting so expect big surprises, exotic little creatures and the bass turned up!

Summer gear is encouraged, so come ready to show some skin and FLAUNT what you got! This will truly be a one-of-a-kind party with colorful art installations, fierce drag guests and performers and non-stop sensory experiences designed to create a continuously entertaining and sexy daytime vibe.

Overdrive

The only monthly LGBT after-hours in San Diego, we cater to dance music enthusiasts, late-night party people and allies of the LGBT community. For 2.5 years, this high-intensity event has continued to stun guests who were convinced the late-night party scene had all but died in San Diego. Located at the legendary Spin Nightclub (formerly Montage), this party features a 3 level, 10,000 square foot entertainment complex dedicated to serious sound and light, a true assault on the senses.

This year we are going full throttle! We have invested in more production, performances, and an all-star DJ line up that is sure to bring the house down. Prepare to shift your dance party experience into OVERDRIVE!
