Tony’s Place is hyped to host the second annual Back to School with Pride Festival! This vibrant and affirming celebration is designed to support LGBTQ+ youth ages 14 to 25 as they head into the new school year. With over 30 vendors including local LGBTQ+ organizations, queer artists, food trucks, and live entertainment, this is way more than a resource fair. It is a reminder that you are not alone and you never have been. We have free school supplies, on-site vaccinations, and the tools you need to feel seen, supported, and ready to take on the year!
While the event centers LGBTQ+ youth and young adults, it is open to everyone! Bring your siblings, your cousins, your chosen fam. We’ll have a bounce house, face painting, temporary tattoos, and more ways to connect than we can list. Whether you are here for what you need or just to be surrounded by joy, you will leave knowing exactly what community care looks like!
