Update – Please see the most recent version of this list: Where to Find GLBT Alaska – Annual Events, Revised Again
by E. Ross
Previously, I posted the first part of a series on GLBT Alaskan Resources: Where to Find GLBT Alaska – Annual Events. I asked for feedback to update the list and received several messages about two changes: The Pride Conference was not held at UAA last year, and the Picnic may no longer be held in Eklutna.
Here is the revised list of main annual events for GLBT Alaska, in seasonal order:
- Arctic Heat (Jan.) – TLFMC comes out of hibernation to choose the next Bear and Leather titleholders.
- Celebration of Change (April) – RAW’s ‘break-up’ performance celebrates women, art, music and springtime.
- Day of Silence & Prom (April) – GLSEN’s Day of Silence and same-sex prom graduates teens in style.
- PrideFest (June) – Identity’s summer solstice Pride Parade and Festival displays our Pride downtown.
- Coronation (August) – ICOAA’s late summer extravaganza invests the new Imperial Court.
- Pride Picnic (Memorial Day) – The Picnic and BBQ celebrate unity and the end of summer.
- Pride Conference (October) – Identity’s back-to-school conference is inspired by National Coming Out Day.
The list is still focused on Anchorage. What are the main annual events for Fairbanks and Juneau? Please email or leave a comment below, and help to make a complete resource list for GLBT Alaska. Not sure how to comment? Read 5 Easy Ways to Enjoy This Blog.
