Community events are blooming this spring at the LGBT Center of Central PA.
The organization recently announced its schedule of happenings for the coming months, including exhibits, screenings and celebrations.
“Spending time in community is as important as it ever has been, and we’re excited to open our doors to all,” said LGBT Center Executive Director Amber Barnes.
Events will kick off in May, with a Kentucky Derby fundraiser at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course on May 2. At the event, there will be food, drinks, a hat contest and hobby horse race.
On May 16, the LGBT Center will participate in a Highmark Walk Fundraiser, starting in the HACC parking lot. The following day, on May 17, the center will collaborate with Midtown Cinema for a screening of “The First Lady,” as part of the Harrisburg Jewish Film Festival.
Also this spring, an LGBT History exhibit, “HIV/AIDS: A History of the Response of the Central PA LGBTQ+ Community to the Pandemic,” will be on display at the LGBT Center.
At the end of the summer, the center plans to host its largest event, its annual FAB celebration, on Aug. 22
