What does NOTAFLOF mean?
NOTAFLOF stands for No One Turned Away For Lack of Funds
If you can't afford an $18 ticket, don't pay for an $18 ticket!
Maybe you technically can afford the $18, but then wouldn't have any munnies leftover for vendors and tipping the drag artists, which you will be sad about. If this is you, budget accordingly! NOTAFLOF is here for a reason.
Where is your money going?
After event costs, money raised will be going towards Palestinian families in need - through Bay2Gaza mutual aid!
We will also be donating a small portion to the Sogorea Te’ land trust as thanks for putting on this event on their sacred land.
Is this family friendly?
This is an all ages event. However, we will be dealing with serious themes around sexual slavery and genocide. Plus, drag performers are known to strip.
