MashUp Weekend 2026: Resurrection Renaissance

Save the Date: February 20–22, 2026 | Nashville, TN

MashUp Weekend is a three-day cultural festival and community gathering that celebrates the brilliance, resilience, and joy of Black LGBTQ+ communities. Each year, it brings together art, nightlife, family, and purpose — creating a space where our culture is uplifted, our stories are centered, and our collective power is undeniable.

This year’s theme, Resurrection Renaissance, is a cultural uprising rooted in the bold spirit of a community that has risen from silence, shame, and suppression into unapologetic wholeness. Like chrome — resilient, reflective, and unmistakably visible — we do not shrink, blur, or ask for permission. We shine because we exist. We rise because we’ve always deserved to.
