Spend the weekend with us and enjoy incredible performances while supporting two wonderful area causes! We'll be at MVCC in Utica with Makenzie Taylor, who will be hosting Drag for a Cause and collecting donations for the Utica Food Pantry. At night, we'll be at the Renaissance in Little Falls with Cleo Cupid and Ianna Rouge , who are hosting the Candy Cane Cabaret and raising funds for the local food pantry.

“Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.”
– Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith
