Queerlantis is a one-night "micro-festival" to kick off Pride Month and celebrate the queer community with friends and allies.

Live music, drag performances, a DJ afterparty, a vendor market, and The Neighbor's Pub will transform the historic Veterans Memorial Hall into a vibrant, inclusive celebration of identity, expression, and community.
