Music By
DJ Jack Chang
With well over two and a half decades of professional DJ performance experience, Jack Chang is not just recognized just as an international DJ, but a DJ with a reputation of truly global class having performed in 25 countries, and across over 60 cities around the world, having reached both the very Western-most edge of the world map with performances for American circuit events in Honolulu, Hawaii, and in the East, as far as Sydney, Australia. Having one foot in the fetish dance scene, and the other in the mainstream gay circuit, Jack’s unique position in the market continues, even now, to amplify the successes of his career across both sides of the gay party universe.
Jack is most known in Europe for his work serving the fetish community, having worked with Folsom Europe since its inception in 2004 at the street fair and the infamous closing party, PiG Berlin, Amsterdam Leather Pride since 2005, and has appeared at every single major leather event across the continent, from Into The Tank in Madrid, Hamburg Leather Weekend, and has worked in both large and smaller events and clubs such as The Hoist and Eagle London as well as the youngest resident DJ for Suzie Kreuger’s FIST club, now known as HardOn, The Boots in Antwerp, and SLM Copenhagen. He continues to perform even now, 23 years later, for Maspalomas Fetish Week, and Darklands in Antwerp.
In 2008 Jack’s reputation spread across the Atlantic on the fetish scene and has worked for events on both East and West Coasts such as Los Angeles Leather Pride, Palm Springs Leather Pride, The Eagle in New York City, Eagle Atlanta, as well as further North in Canada for Eagle Toronto, Ruff Vancouver, and further south in Mexico for Maninfest and in Brazil for The Original Brazilian Pool Party and its sister event, Revolution.
His relentless work has earned him international acclaim and recognition by the community having been the first DJ to win the award twice for Best European Fetish DJ by the X-Awards in 2013 and 2017.
Trained in classical music (Piano, Violin, Classical Music Theory) for 11 years, his ongoing success has not just been held in high regard by the general public simply from great performances, but from his versatility, not just as a DJ, but also as Remixer, and Producer / Recording Artist, having remixed projects so far, for five independent dance music labels based in Europe, North and South America, producing work in several languages, and is fast becoming as well-known for his studio work, as well his live performances at events and nightclubs around the world.

Our Beneficiary
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence® are a leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns who have just celebrated 45 years of activism and community service. They uphold the belief that everyone has the right to express their unique joy and beauty.
Since their inaugural appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have dedicated themselves to community service, ministry, and outreach to marginalized individuals, while also advocating for human rights, respect for diversity, and spiritual enlightenment.
They employ humor and irreverent wit to challenge bigotry, complacency, and guilt that suppress the human spirit. The Sisters are almost always present at flagging events, passionately ‘passing the hat’ to collect donations for other nonprofits. Over the years, they have distributed over a million dollars in grants to support various causes, so we are proud to help support them back.

What to Expect
The National AIDS Memorial Grove is a gorgeously secluded meadow near the East end of Golden Gate Park. Often the fog is licking at the sky above – especially in the summer, bring sunscreen and a wrap. Bring something to sit on; pack a lunch or bring snacks and beverages; flags are available for use; usually a few furry friends roaming. There are little or no services nearby but port-a-potties will be available. Our DJ spins vocal fun-filled dance music, and flow artists eagerly enjoy and share their art with newcomers. There is no pressure to participate — come relax and take in the color and beauty of our tribe!
About Flagging in the Park
In 1997 a group of San Francisco flaggers started a tradition of celebrating life by gathering in the newly dedicated National AIDS Memorial Grove. Twenty-four years later, Flagging in the Park has grown into a treasured, quintessentially San Francisco event where DJs, organizers and participants donate their time, energy and love to help raise money for local and national charities.
