We can think of no better way to celebrate Valentine’s weekend than by exploring the enchanting island of Ireland.

San Juan Bear Weekend- February 12th- 16th
Who doens’t love a brand new bear weekend? The stunning island of Puerto Rico will play host to this highly anticipated event. Get ready for tons of parties both at the clubs and on stretches of warm sandy beaches. There will be pool parties aplenty, so bring your favorite swimsuit to show yourself off!
D’arcy Drag & Disco- February 7th
D’Arcy’s Drag + Disco
Celebrating a glorious re-opening
Everyone, get ready to party, because a historic San Francisco venue is back, baby! The Castro Theater has been an institution in SF’s gay district for many years and has sadly been closed for renovations for quite some time. Now, she’s back as a live music and performance venue, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! This grand re-opening event will showcase local drag legends, live DJ sets, and a few sexy go-go dancers if you’re lucky.

Throughout all of February and part of March, Cape Town puts on a slew of LGBTQ+ friendly events to celebrate the vibrant and blossoming queer community. On February 28th, the culminating Pride Parade and Mardi Gras kick off for a wild day of glitter, beads, love, and laughter.
Adirondack Winter Pride- February 27th- March 1st
One of the last Winter Pride events of the season, this celebration could not be more ideally located.
