About the Event
Tickets: https://givebutter.com/GnGTickets26
With your support, the Seattle LGBTQ+ Center has blossomed into the definitive hub for LGBTQIA2s+ individuals seeking affirming and responsive resources, wellness, and community. Whether you’re just hearing about us for the first time or you’ve been around since the beginning, come celebrate with us at Gardens & Gems and help set the (gem) stones for another 30 years of fostering self-determination, liberation, and joy in our Queer & Trans Communities.
Come sparkle with us in your favorite florals or gem-inspired summer look, and stay for an evening of fabulous queer art, entertainment, and community joy. Queer joy in and of itself is a radical act of resistance, and with that joy we can come together and rally for a better, more liberated future for our communities.
Your attendance and donations support the Center’s essential programs like our health services, youth advocacy programs, resource & referral programs, and more. Your past support has catalyzed the Center’s expansion into things like gender affirming care, domestic violence prevention, mental health programs, and more. What do the next 30 years of LGBTQ+ community advocacy and liberation entail? You can help make it remarkable.
Tickets are once again limited, so don’t miss out—secure yours now!

Ticket Access:
Our mission is to cultivate access and connections to promote self-determination, liberation, and joy, and that extends to events like this. While this is a fundraiser, we recognize that capitalism creates barriers between the communities we serve and accessing events and spaces, and would like to ensure that everyone who wants to attend is able to. If the ticket price creates a barrier for you, please feel free to email us at [email protected] so that we can provide access to a ticket.
If you have the means, please consider paying it forward by selecting a higher ticket level. All contributions to Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center are tax deductible.
Accessibility:
Our goal is to ensure that guests feel as comfortable and supported as possible. Recognizing that we may not meet every need, we are dedicated to and continue to work towards making our events as accessible as possible. If you have any questions about accommodations for different access needs, please feel free to email us at [email protected].
The venue is ADA accessible.
