One of them has been produced in Watertown, Wisconsin. A journalist present at the event, which included drag shows and other festive celebrations, shared images of Blood Tribe members with weapons and chanting slogans such as "us or the pedophiles", "pedophiles off our streets" and "There will be blood, blood, blood."

One of the organizers of the event told the Watertown Daily Times that the intention of the event was "to be a beacon for those who cannot be themselves publicly and we want to show them that Watertown is a safe place for them."

The event was also denounced by another platform, Gays againts groomers, denouncing the acts as "a sample of what children are subjected to", although none of them were directed at them.
