Hartford Pride Center Hosts Send-Off for Miss Connecticut 2026 Christa Steiner
The Hartford Pride Center and community partners invite Connecticut residents to a special celebration honoring Christa Steiner, Miss Connecticut 2026, as she prepares to compete for the title of Miss America.
Christa has courageously shared her journey through undiagnosed bipolar disorder, addiction, isolation, and recovery. Today, she uses her statewide platform to advocate for mental health awareness, sobriety, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and the life-changing power of supportive communities.
This special Hartford-area event reflects the Hartford Pride Center’s commitment to affirming care, healing, and empowering LGBTQ+ people to build healthy, fulfilling lives.
Tickets are $25 and include food, drinks, and entertainment. Those unable to attend can still support Christa’s Miss America journey by making a donation in increments of $5.
Join us in celebrating Miss Connecticut 2026 and sending Christa to the Miss America pageant with the support of her Connecticut community!

Tjovi Ginen is a vibrant ensemble of seasoned musicians representing their Latin, African and American culture, all supported by Vodou rhythms and Haitian chants. Their lyrics lace each track with Reggae, Ska and Jamaican dub poetry which unfold stories of struggle and triumph, pain and power, and love for all.
“Expect deep, percussion rich grooves, political drama and maybe a few laughs. This can also describe the Haitian people, its history, its art and its culture, seeking freedom from political and social oppression in the dance and rhythms of Mother Africa.” - Boston Phoenix
