Longmont, CO — Join us for a spectacular night of celebration and community support at the Carnivale Masquerade Gala, a fundraiser dedicated to supporting local, independent journalism. Taking place on Thursday, October 10th at Bricks on Main in Longmont, this lively event promises a night filled with entertainment, laughter, and a whole lot of dancing!
The gala will feature an exciting lineup of performances, including a fortune teller, magician, stilt walkers, jugglers, and a performance by Z-BASSSpeaks. Lafayette’s own Poet Laureate will also share words of wisdom, while DJ Drake will get the party going with the funkiest disco beats.
What to Expect:
- Time: 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM — Perfect for attending after work!
- Dress Code: Come dressed for fun! Don’t have a costume? No problem! We’ve got free Mardi Gras-style masks, glow-in-the-dark tattoos, feather boas, and a face-painter to help you join in the Carnivale spirit.
- Tickets: Only $25! Your ticket helps fund Yellow Scene Magazine’s mission of delivering quality, independent journalism to the community.
This evening is not just about fun but about ensuring that local, independent journalism continues to thrive. Yellow Scene Magazine has been a free publication for 24 years, working tirelessly to bring important stories to the community. With local newsrooms under constant threat from hedge funds and conglomerates, the need to support independent journalism has never been greater.
“Journalism isn’t just a job; it’s a commitment to the truth and to our community. Yellow Scene has never charged for access to our stories, and we won’t start now. Our fundraiser helps ensure we can keep bringing vital, independent news to the community for years to come,” said Yellow Scene Publisher.
Yellow Scene has fought to protect the public’s right to information, recently winning a lawsuit against the City of Boulder over public access to police video footage. The magazine has earned 190 awards, including 23 this year alone, and is committed to maintaining editorial integrity by never selling out to advertorial content.
Why It Matters: News deserts are real, and the rise of misinformation makes it more important than ever to have trusted, independent media. Yellow Scene Magazine works hard to fill this void, providing local coverage that connects the community with stories that matter.
In addition to the fun and festivities, the gala offers attendees the opportunity to donate to a silent auction, helping raise further funds to support Yellow Scene’s mission.
Can’t make it?
You can still support local journalism by making a tax-deductible donation through the same ticket link.
Let’s come together to celebrate and support the work that keeps our community informed, connected, and strong. Join us for a night of dancing, fun, and giving back!
