Castro Magazine Gala

Castro Magazine’s second issue gets a suitably unruly launch at Public Works, with the night split between an outdoor orchestra performance and a five-hour rave inside. David Garcia leads the open-air portion from 9 to 11pm, while Beverly Chills, Giovanni Sainz, Maliciel, Sicaria and Tony OMFG take over the main room through 2am. The format is the interesting part: you can move between a seated, classical-leaning setting and a full club night without committing to either one. There’s also a red carpet and portrait setup tied to the dress code, “You Are the Cover of Issue No. 03,” giving the fashion-minded crowd an actual reason to dress up beyond the usual party uniform. If you’ve been curious about Castro Magazine’s take on queer nightlife and local creative culture, this is probably the most direct way to see it in action.
