Register on Eventbrite
As Philadelphia’s LGBTQ community center, it is part of our mission to provide space that is home for our expansive community. This year has been like no other in the history of the Center. Love + Solidarity 2021, was born out of communities’ desire to celebrate ourselves, all types of love that nourish us, and the way we as queer communities thrive from this collective care.
This inaugural event will feature community voices, vendors, artists, and organizers. We will also take the opportunity to recognize individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to LGBT communities in Philadelphia and show them support.
We ask that you join to support our ongoing efforts to maintain Philadelphia's LGBTQ community center and celebrate queer joy in times of uncertainty.
This is a sliding scale event. A donation based entry of lower than $25, is available for anyone who needs it. The link will be sent to EVERY registrant with an email address on file, ahead of the event. A single ticket purchase will cover entry to the full event, no matter the day or time.
