In collaboration with In Our Own Voices, Inc., this beloved event brings together LGBTQIA+ seniors and allies of all ages for a brunch cruise filled with community, connection, and celebration.

Enjoy breathtaking views, energizing DJ sets, and dazzling drag performances aboard the Captain JP. It’s a space to dance, reflect, and honor the legacy, resilience, and joy of our elders.

In past years, this event has been entirely free for older adults. This year, the $10 ticket helps ensure the cruise can continue for years to come. If cost is a barrier, older adults are encouraged to reach out, as we'll have sponsored tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis.

🌧️ Event Cancellation Notice 🌧️

With the flooding and severe weather impacting communities across the Capital District, we've made the difficult decision to cancel tonight's Lavender Social Hour and Networking With Pride meetups.

We know these gatherings are an important way for people to connect, especially during challenging times. Right now, though, our focus is on the safety of our community, volunteers, and attendees.

We're disappointed not to see everyone, but we hope you'll take this time to stay safe, check in on your neighbors, and take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to gathering together again soon.💜🏳️‍🌈
