🏳️🌈 Clack, Sweat, Repeat: The Top 8 Pride Circuit Parties You *Need* to Fan Your Way Through

If you've ever been to a circuit party during 🌈  Pride season, you know three things are certain:
1. There will be beats.
2. There will be bodies.
3. There will be sweat.

So before you step into that neon-lit fantasy, there’s one accessory you should never forget: your hand fan.  It’s your identity, your ventilation, your sass weapon. And lucky for you, we’ve clacked across the country to bring you the top eight circuit parties in the U.S. where your fan will earn its keep — and then some.

🌈 1. NYC – Brüt Pride

📅 Date: Friday, June 27, 2025 (10 PM–6 AM)
📍 Location: New York City
💪 Vibe: Leather, muscle, and unapologetic grit
🎧 Soundtrack: Deep techno, warehouse realness

Hosted in raw, industrial spaces, Brüt Pride is a testosterone-heavy, Berlin-meets-Brooklyn affair with shirtless masses stomping to filthy house tracks. This is where fan meets function — cooling you down between power poses, dance breaks, and spontaneous voguing.

🔥 Fan Pick: Daddy Fan – black, bold, and built for daddies, this is the perfect hand fan accessory for Brut pride in NYC>

🏳️🌈 2. NYC – Drag March Warm-Up

📅 Date: Friday, June 27, 2025
📍 Location: Tompkins Square Park → Stonewall Inn
🎭 Vibe: Punk drag realness meets tradition

The Drag March kicks off NYC Pride with high-heeled anarchy and radical queer visibility. No permits, no corporate sponsors — just fierce independence, chant-filled streets, and a tidal wave of tulle, glitter, and shade.

🔥 Fan Pick: Drag Is Not A Crime Fan  – for queens and comrades alike.

🎉 3. Houston – Pride Houston Festival & Parade + After-Parties

📅 Date: Saturday, June 28, 2025 (11 AM–11 PM)
📍 Location: Downtown Houston
🎶 Vibe: Texas-sized rainbow spectacle

Houston throws the LARGEST nighttime pride parade in the U.S., followed by circuit-style after-parties hosted at local clubs like South Beach and JR's. Expect float queens, cowboy boots, heat, and high-energy hijinks.

🔥 Fan Pick: Pride Texas Fan – loud, proud, and Lone Star-ready.

☀️ 4. Phoenix – Revolution Pride [Event Link]

📅 Date: October 18–19, 2025
📍 Location: Steele Indian School Park, Phoenix
🌡️ Vibe: Dry heat, wet tank tops
🎧 Soundtrack: Festival-style bangers with Latin flair

This desert storm of a party doesn’t mess around. With daytime pool parties rolling into sunrise raves, Revolution is an endurance test. The DJs? Top-tier. The crowd? Thirsty. You’ll be using that fan for shade, flirtation, and flagging down your crew in the crowd.

🔥 Fan Pick: Pride Party Fan – visible from space, ideal for desert survival.

🎉 5. Dallas – Spectrum Tea Dance 

📅 Date: Sunday, June 15, 2025
📍 Location: Station 4, Dallas
🌈 Vibe: Southern charm meets poppers and pop drops
🎧 Soundtrack: Circuit remixes of diva anthems

Held during Dallas Pride, this tea dance is anything but mild. Think of it as your sun-drenched warm-up for the rest of the night. It’s colorful, flirty, and the perfect excuse to wear that mesh tank you definitely didn't "accidentally pack."

🔥 Fan Pick: This Ain't Texas Fan 

🌊 6. Fort Lauderdale – Brüt After-Dark (Wicked Manors) 

📅 Date: Saturday, October 11, 2025
📍 Location: Wilton Manors, FL
🎭 Vibe: Queer haunted house meets South Beach fantasy
🎧 Soundtrack: Tribal beats + freaky drag drops

Florida does spooky right. This late-October circuit party collides with Halloween, turning Fort Lauderdale into a costume-optional playground. Bonus points for fanning while wearing wings, leather, or whatever that is. Bring glitter. And stamina.

🔥 Fan Pick: Dead To Me Fan – because horror can be hot.

🌧️ 7. Seattle – Brüt: Pacific Northwest Edition 

📅 Date: June 2025 (Exact Date TBD)
📍 Location: Seattle
🌲 Vibe: Moody, misty, muscular
🎧 Soundtrack: Dirty basslines with a side of forest energy

Seattle knows how to keep it wet — and we’re not just talking about the weather. Brüt Seattle offers a darker, steamier take on Pride. Underground spaces, killer lighting, and just enough mossy mystery to make your forest nymph fantasy come true.

🔥 Fan Pick: Pride Rainbow Fan – waterproof and weatherproof.

🌁 8. San Francisco – Afterglow at The Midway 

📅 Date: Friday, June 27, 2025
📍 Location: San Francisco
🚀 Vibe: Queer futurism meets sweaty nostalgia
🎧 Soundtrack: House, disco, tech trance

If Pride had a heartbeat, it would echo off the walls of SF’s Midway. With lasers, art, and a very eclectic crowd, this party is where queers of all aesthetics come together — in mesh, harnesses, jockstraps, or nothing at all. (It’s San Francisco. Anything goes.)

🔥 Fan Pick: Iridescence Fan– for those who glow *and* go.

💦 Pro Tips for a Proper Pride Party Clack Attack

- Hydrate like a legend. One hand on your fan, one on your water bottle.
- Bring a backup fan. Yours will get borrowed. Or clacked to death.
- Pack light. Nobody wants to babysit your tote bag.
- Consent is hot. Ask before you fan someone dramatically in the face.
- Clack with confidence. If you don’t clack it like you mean it, don’t clack at all.
