Members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies alike will flock to the Secret Garden stage, which will pay homage to legendary DC rave and club culture as well as local and nationally recognized LGBTQ+ artists.

The artists joining the Secret Garden lineup were specially curated by DC’s own DJ Ed Bailey.

“I am so proud of what we have been able to create with The Secret Garden. Incorporating talent from the LGBTQ community and providing that kind of representation is sorely needed in the music festival world, and I am so proud to be a part of this process with Glow. For year two of this venture, we are excited to have an amazing showcase for local DJs and performers as well as talent from across the country. We are really building something here," Bailey says.

Project Glow’s Secret Garden is a luscious, house-party retreat tucked away from Project Glow’s other large stages and LED walls, creating an IYKYK house music oasis highlighting club DJs, dance performances, and the rich history and contributions of LGBTQ+ artists to dance music. The most recent 2023 edition of Secret Garden was headlined by famed drag queen and ballroom legend, Kevin Aviance.

The full lineup for Project Glow, as well as passes, are available now on the official website here.
