2026 Festival
Cosmic Cherry 2026:
Carnaval
April 9-11 AT COURT SQUARE THEATRE, LIC, NY
Cosmic Cherry is a one-of-a-kind event in New York City, offering something truly exceptional in the city's artistic landscape. We don't just host performances—we create an atmosphere of warmth, inclusion, and belonging for women and the queer community.
COSMIC CHERRY 2026: CARNAVAL focuses on femme and queer joy as a radical act of liberation. In a world transforming before our eyes, we create a vibrant, safe space where our communities can express pride, pleasure, and the power of being fully ourselves.
We believe in the idea that freedom and authenticity are the keys to our collective liberation, and we are encouraging our artists to release their inhibitions and let their freak flags fly! Our cosmic bacchanal is sure to be a weird, wonderful, and wacky night of revelry!
