Side by Side’s signature annual Springtime brings together community members, advocates, and allies to celebrate and support LGBTQ+ youth.

Held at the beautiful Linden Row Inn from 12:00 - 4:00 PM, this year’s Bloom Together theme invites you to don your best spring bloom and garden party hat for an unforgettable brunch-in-the-garden experience.

What to Expect:
🌸 Bottomless beer, wine, and mocktails—liquor-based cocktails will be available for purchase
🌸 A delicious gourmet brunch
🌸 Live entertainment and an inspiring keynote speaker
🌸 Access to a silent auction, wine pull, and jewelry sales featuring exclusive pieces handcrafted by Side by Side youth

You'll also have the opportunity to support future LGBTQ+ celebrations—all proceeds from youth-crafted jewelry will help keep Queer Prom free and accessible for every attendee.

At the heart of the event, we’ll honor this year’s Catalyst Award recipients across three categories: individual, organizational, and faith community partners. You'll also hear powerful stories of impact that highlight the resilience and brilliance of the LGBTQ+ youth we serve.

This year’s program features a keynote address by U.S. Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, a special guest appearance by Kerri Colby, an inspiring impact story from a former youth member, and a live performance by a talented local artist.

With fabulous food, unlimited drinks, heartfelt storytelling, and a cause worth celebrating, the Springtime Gala is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a joyful gathering of pride, community, and unwavering support.
