Queer Prom Brings Carnival Magic to Local Youth

An inclusive, joy-filled night for LGBTQ+ youth and allies

Alameda, CA - Alameda Pride and Queer Teen Center (QTAC) proudly present a carnival-themed Queer Prom for LGBTQ+ youth and their allies in grades 6 through 12 on May 8th from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Alameda Veterans Memorial Building.
