Wrap up your Pride-filled weekend with a chilled-out picnic at Pride Village. All afternoon, enjoy acoustic concerts, jukebox-style sessions, and even one last open-air dance. Bring your own food, or dig into tasty bites from on-site vendors, like Rooster Sausage Gourmet, Belgian Fries, Altai Korea, and ice cream by Mia Crema Gelato.

Three-time Coachella performer and concert-techno pioneer, Jan Blomqvist, brings his signature electronic set to ARCHA+ this Saturday. Fusing emotional vocals, moody synths, and cinematic beats, Blomqvist has carved out a unique sound that’s earned him a global following and major festival slots.

Fresh from its world premiere at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, this feature from Hanoi-born, Czech-raised Dužan Duong is being hailed as Czechia’s first “Viet-film.” Filled with early-2000s nostalgia, the film follows 17-year-old Kien, with crazy red hair, as he returns to a fractured family in Czechia after 10 years in Vietnam. Told through the shifting perspectives of Kien, his father, and his resentful younger brother, Summer School, 2001 is a warm, witty, and quietly powerful portrait of identity, belonging, and generational tension within Czechia’s Vietnamese community.
