Christmas Eve is coming and whether you celebrate the holiday or not, Christmas lights and decorations can be so incredibly fun to enjoy together. Plus, let’s face it, Christmas decorations are pretty dang gay! That’s why Found Family Collective and PFLAG Tampa have teamed up to create a Queer Christmas Light Tour on Christmas Eve. If you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community, come join us for this free community event. We will stroll the Hyde Park Village area, and if we feel like it, we might do some caroling! We’re going to be loud and proud about how queer, gay, lesbian, bi and transgender we are!

In addition, we will have an ugly sweater contest to go along with it. This is optional, though, so you don’t have to if you don’t want to! Cash prizes will be available to the top two winners! If you want to participate, just come with your ugliest sweater–you don’t have to wear it the whole time, because let’s face it, it could be hot or cold that day!
This event is open to LGBTQIA+ people and their loved ones of all ages and is not a religious event, so it’s open to all regardless of faith or absence of faith.
ACCESSIBILITY: Our goal is to make this event as accessible as possible.

We will make all accommodations when possible and practical. If you are, or know, an ASL interpreter willing to donate their time for this event, please advise. Note for wheelchair/mobility aid users and/or those who have walking limitations, the event will occur in uneven terrain and will involve continuous movement. If you feel you will need to rest frequently, please notify one of us at the event, and we’ll take rest breaks as frequently as possible.
