CELEBRATE PRIDE!
with FAHASS

Where everyone feels valued, respected, and loved for who they are.

In 2022, we opened our doors at Pride Center FXBG to provide a safe space for the local LGBTQ+ community. Since then, our reach has expanded in the greater Fredericksburg area with local events, support groups, and social gatherings.
This year, we connected with local partners to bring you exciting new ways to celebrate Pride Month in Fredericksburg, VA.

Pride Kickoff Party:
Neon Nights

We kicked off Pride Month at Curitiba Art Cafe, where we turned their back alley into a vibrant dance floor under colorful black lights. It was an amazing start to the best month of the year!

Mrs. Roper Romp with the Downtown dolls

As part of June’s First Friday celebrations, we kept the party going with a Mrs. Roper Romp, hosted in partnership with the Downtown Dolls. Named after the iconic and flamboyantly dressed character Mrs. Roper from the classic TV show "Three’s Company," this event celebrated vibrant and expressive fashion.

 

This gathering was about fun and fundraising, and helped us continue to support and celebrate our vibrant community. Fredericksburg did not disappoint. Y’all came out, struck fabulous poses, and contributed to a great cause.
