Bunnies On The Bayou

Join us for Bunnies on the Bayou every Easter Sunday from 1-6PM. This was the beginning of Bunnies on the Bayou. Bunnies on the Bayou, Inc.

On a Sunny Easter Sunday in 1979, a small group of friends gathered for a Birthday Celebration at a small apartment complex on Clay Street. The word spread of the event, and the following year in 1980 the group set up a sound system and sent out invitations. In the mid-80’s AIDS was taking a terrible toll on the community, and the hosts decided to help their friends by charging an "admission"- a b

ag of food for local charities was required to enter the event. During the 90’s the event grew again, and the location changed to the Wortham Center. Instead of food, Bunnies began to raise money for local charities. Since that time, the event has grown to be Houston's largest annual outdoor cocktail party. is a 501(c)3, all-volunteer organization dedicated to the raising and distributing of funds for various charitable, educational, and cultural programs that seek to improve the quality of life and promote education and awareness of human rights for individuals in the Houston LGBTQIA+ community. Bunnies on the Bayou is a celebration of community and giving back, and we are proud to have contributed over $1.2 million to non-profit organizations since 2013. In 2022, we set a record of raising $210,000 for these important causes.

Happy Pride Month from Bunnies on the Bayou:

We begin this Pride Month with a sobering reminder of why Pride still matters.

For many in our community, especially our transgender and gender-diverse siblings, visibility is not a celebration. It is an act of courage. Existing openly in a world that too often seeks to erase, marginalize, or misunderstand them requires a resilience that deserves our admiration, protection, and support.

Pride was never born from comfort. It was born from courage.

It was built by people who refused to disappear. By those who stood up when it was dangerous, spoke out when it was unpopular, and loved when the world told them not to.

That legacy lives on today.

At Bunnies on the Bayou, we believe hope is more than optimism. Hope is action. Hope is showing up. Hope is creating spaces where people can find community, friendship, resources, and belonging. Hope is making sure no one has to face adversity alone.

This month, we celebrate the beauty, diversity, and joy of our LGBTQIA+ community. We honor the generations who fought for the rights many enjoy today. And we recommit ourselves to standing with those whose rights, safety, and dignity remain under attack.

To our transgender siblings: we see you, we value you, and you belong.

To our community: continue choosing courage over fear, compassion over indifference, and hope over despair.

The challenges before us are real. But so is our resilience.

And if history has taught us anything, it is that when our community comes together, we do more than survive.

We bloom.

Happy Pride Month, Houston.

With love, hope, and solidarity,

These lucky rabbits’ feet are still recovering… but our hearts are full.

Bunnies on the Bayou 47 was bigger than a moment.
It was a reminder of what happens when this community shows up with intention.

To every Deluxe and Golden Bunny, every sponsor, partner, vendor, entertainer, and our 450+ volunteers… thank you.
You didn’t just make this happen. You carried it.

Resistance in Bloom wasn’t just a theme.
It was felt.

And we’re not done.

The year is still moving, and these Energizer Bunnies have more in store:
HARE-itage.
Honey Bunnies in May.
Bunnies in Heat this June etc.

From the Bunnies Host Partnership, thank you for building this with us.

Energetically yours,
Bunnies on the Bayou 🐰
