Our third annual celebration is now in the planning stages! Watch this space for exciting developments. This year's theme is

The Joy of Gender!

Gender Euphoria is an annual celebration of the lives of transgendered, transsexual, gender-variant, and genderqueer folk, as well as those of our partners and allies.

We started Gender Euphoria to remind the world that you can be anywhere on the gender spectrum and still be happy. And you can love people anywhere on the spectrum and still be happy. So put away that old DVD of The Crying Game, pause your Boys Don't Cry torrent, and come on down for festive funness.

Admission is by donation; give what you feel comfortable giving, whatever that might be. There are fantastic door prizes, all the activities inside are free. Remember, seating is limited -- if you want a seat, you should come early. 

Since we're aiming to make this event accessible to all, we've considered issues of physical accessibility. Heritage Hall is a wheel-chair accessible venue, and the primary entrance to the event will be the accessible entrance, a few meters to the south of the main doors with steps.

And then, we come to the Audience Participation part of the day. Once you've had a strenuous day of partying, we give you the real treat: You get to become part of the behind-the-scenes action and you get to tidy up and put everything away in its place! Yes, you get to be roadies, stagehands and minions helpers! Where else would you get to become part of the show crew like that?
