Tower Grove Pride

Go behind the curtain at the 2018 Tower Grove Pride! This ticket also covers some light apps and your first boozy slushee or Four Hands Beer.
The Backstage Pass gives you access to two great experiences: The outdoor amphitheater and the indoor Chill Out. Get your tickets early as space is limited for everyone's comfort! 
WHAT IS IT? 
It's a collaboration of local artists and entertainers, of creatives who believe in equality and support the LGBT community of St. Louis and are giving of their time to entertain you at Tower Grove Pride. 
Amphitheatre: The outdoor amphitheatre features performances including burlesque, music, and drag. We'll also be hosting a "Mommie Dearest" - off, where contestants will give their best Joan Crawford freakout impression for a cash prize!  
Big THANK YOU to our partners, especially <A HREF="https://www.facebook.com/CityOfNightSTL/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">City of Night</A> and <A HREF="http://www.straydogtheatre.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Stray Dog Theatre</A>!
 The Chill Out: We're creating an indoor space where you can be out and proud, and inside the cool AC of the Stupp Center, which will be in the heart of the festival in Tower Grove Park. Take a break from the Summer heat and a chill out with this year's performers, organizers, volunteeers and sponsors. AND HELP US RAISE SOME NEEDED FUNDS TO SUPPORT IT ALL!!  Where else can you mingle with drag queens, musicians, and burlesque performers all under one roof?
You're tickets get you access to the Chill Out all day, which means you can avoid those steamy porta potties altogether. 
 NOTE: ALL OTHER PARTS OF TGP ARE FREE OF CHARGE!
WHERE IS IT? 
The Backstage at Tower Grove Pride will be hosted in the Stupp Center, located near the corner gate of the Park at Arsenal and South Grand. 
 WHAT'S IT FOR? 
The Backstage is a way for Tower Grove Pride to both fundraise (this fest doesn't run on Koolaid ya know!), and to highlight local artists and entertainers who perform best on a more intimate stage. Bottom line, though, is that it's just for fun! An excuse for our gay friends, our lesbian lovers, our trans homies, our bi sexual BFFs to kick it and celebrate Pride in style on Stonewall Weekend! 
For anyone who has a condition impacted by the hot heat of late June or needs a restroom more accessible and user-friendly than a portable toilet, no ticket will be required.
