Get ready for a tantalizing celebration of LGBTQ+ artistry as the HOT Festival at Dixon Place from July 6, 2026 to July 25, 2026. This year’s lineup embraces diversity, upset norms, and showcases extraordinary talent from the LGBTQ+ community in NYC and beyond.

Located in the heart of the Lower East Side, Dixon Place has been a haven for experimental, absurd, and avant-garde performances since 1986. This festival continues Dixon's 40 year tradition of providing a platform for innovative works that explore themes of identity, lust, love, and social justice. This year's lineup includes a diverse array of solo works, musicals, readings, and special events featuring LGBTQ+ playwrights, directors, literary artists, dancers, comedians, and performers.
