Kick off the 2025 Windham-Campbell Prizes Festival with a vibrant welcome party! Join us for an evening of free food and lively music as we greet our extraordinary 2025 prize recipients to campus. Enjoy delicious offerings from New Haven’s beloved food trucks, including Big Green Truck Pizza, Pitaziki, Taqueria Tlaxcala, and Sweet Cupcasions. The atmosphere will be set by the tempo of DJ Edgewood, making this a festive start to the week’s literary celebrations.

DJ Edgewood, known for high-energy sets, genre-spanning mixes, and an electric connection with the crowd, has been a staple in Connecticut’s queer nightlife for years. His signature style blends nostalgia with movement, drawing from decades of music to create unforgettable moments. With African-American and West Indian roots, and as a queer man who grew up in Connecticut, Edgewood brings a deeply personal lens to his work, infusing his sets with the rhythm, culture, and joy of his lived experience.
