Join us for a daytime intergenerational gathering for queer families in all forms and all those who support them.

Celebrated for creating intentional spaces for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour who are women, queer, intersex, trans, or non-binary, Pxssy Palace are back with their unique blend of music and self-expression.

Bring your picnic blankets for a fun-filled day in the courtyard. This is the perfect chance to meet and mingle with other families while enjoying the summer sun.

Throughout the day there will be friendship bracelet making, a community library and an open art space for all ages to enjoy. Alongside this we’ll have a marketplace with homemade spices by Sahani Saani; homemade candles by Scemysthetic; massage by Yin & Yang Hands; nail art by Kandi and tarot by AFRO LION

We’ll also have timed activity and performance throughout the day.
