Join us for a fun evening at a beautiful private lakefront home in Avon Lake for a Legendary Lakeside Gay Soiree fundraiser in support of LGBTQ+ Lorain County! This will be a fabulous evening of music, wine, cocktails, heavy appetizers, and plenty of queer comradery! Make new connections and enjoy a beautiful fall evening on the lake as we come together to raise funds in support of Lorain County Pride 2025.
Over the past three years, we have seen attendance and engagement with Lorain County Pride grow dramatically. From 2023 to 2024 alone, we saw the number of participating vendors double. Attendance has grown more than 300% since 2022. In order to make this a bigger, more fabulous, and safe event for all in 2025, we need your help! All proceeds raised from the Gay Soiree will support our ability to host Lorain County Pride next year. Pride is a time for our community to come together and celebrate who we are, who we love, and all the wonderful things that LGBTQ+ people bring to our society and culture.
Tickets for the Gay Soiree are $75 for an individual and $125 if purchased as a pair. So grab a friend, family member, significant other, or loved one and join us! Tickets include heavy appetizers and an open bar. Additional donations are welcomed! Every donation helps! Those interested in providing an additional donation beyond the standard ticket price may do so through the Eventbrite registration or by cash/check/credit card the night of the event. We will also have raffles going on throughout the event.
Attire for the event is cocktail casual, but we say, be fabulous and be you!
Address and parking details will be sent to all attendees in advance via email. Tickets cannot be purchased at the door due to space limitations, so please plan to purchase your ticket in advance. Space is limited, so get your tickets early! This is sure to be a FABULOUS NOT TO MISS EVENT that will support our mission to make Lorain County a safe and inclusive place for LGBTQ+ individuals to work, play and live.
Thank you to our gracious hosts, Richard Skerl and Eric Hammer!
