Join us for an evening of live music, and community celebration.

Featuring local Queer musicians, and in partnership with the Queer Halifax Ensemble, the concert will include mostly non-traditional music, while celebrating the diversity of our community. From solos, duets, and the entire cast, there will be a variety of performances throughout the evening. Last year we almost sold out so we encourage folks to grab their tickets in advance!

The event will also include a FREE pot-luck-style lunch the day of. Both our concert and potluck are a great way to gather as a community, connect with new friends, and celebrate the upcoming holidays.
