Asians and Friends Country Western Fundraiser

Asians and Friends Chicago (AFC), a social group for LGBTQ Asians, allies and
those interested in Asian cultures, will host a celebration of country music and dance with a
saloon-themed fundraiser they’re calling, “Burlesque in the West.” The theme reflects the Lunar
New Year zodiac sign of the horse and will raise funds for the group’s Pride Parade efforts.
They will host the annual function on Sat., April 18, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at the Holiday Club, 4000
N. Sheridan Road, for the last time at that location since it is scheduled to close at the end of
April. In addition to D.J. Aaron Sager spinning country hits, AFC members will entertain guests
with Western-themed musical numbers.
