La Feria ~ Magazine Launch Happy Hour

Join us for happy hour at Mayahuel in Astoria for the official launch of La Feria, a new arts and culture magazine for Queens!

Enjoy delicious food and drinks while building with our founding editors, writers, and others in Queens making things happen in our borough.

La Feria was founded on the premise that Queens is the future. Once a forgotten place, our Queens is a diverse, working class, immigrant, queer, and racialized communities that simply exist alongside one another, for better or worse. Not as a cosmopolitan utopia, but as a real place, where diversity isn't a concept, but a lived experience. A refuge. A home. This is what the world will increasingly look like as demographics shift and large scale migrations persist. Queens is the future, now and forever.

Join us as we celebrate with friends and family. We'll have games, giveaways, and some other surprises. Stay tuned for more announcements!

Also, a special shout-out to our hosts. Mayauel is a family-owned Mexican restaurant that opened in 2022 and is known for milling heirloom corn from Mexico through the traditional nixtamal process. They are exactly what La Feria is all about—family, hard work, and carrying the culture forward while building bridges between Queens and the world.

We're very grateful for their support.
