Through teary eyes with great sadness and immense gratitude we announce that our 2024 Glow Festival will be the last Turn event for the foreseeable future. It has been an honor to serve the San Diego (and beyond) gay community for the last 5 years.  We hope you’ll join us one last time on the dance floor to celebrate, mingle, and connect.  Our scene is changing, attendance at LGBTQ+ events all over the country has been decreasing in recent years meanwhile there has been an increase of new promoters making it extremely difficult to survive.  We have explored multiple options to keep Turn alive but at the end of the day there is no clear path to continue our mission of changing the world through community and music.  San Diego is a special place that showed us what it is like to belong, we will forever be grateful for our time giving back and spreading love through safe events that celebrate our community.  Please support events and businesses that make the gay community a primary focus, without these spaces our vibrant community will continue to shrink, and our once safe spaces will continue to become just another hangout for the straight community where we no longer feel welcome.  We love you all and look forward to celebrating one last time on November 29 & November 30.

 

All our love,

James Wallen & Scott Vandegrift
