Celebrate Purim with Pride!

Join us for an unforgettable Jew-topia Purim Party! It will be a night of community, celebration, and fun. We will have Megillah reading, a break-fast meal, games, a photobooth, and an awesome costume contest (with prizes)! Come in your Purim best, get ready to meet new friends, enjoy great music, and celebrate in an affirming and joyful queer space. We are so excited to partner with M.A.C. Viva Glam, who will be sending gift bags for each attendee!

This event is open to ages 13-23 and will take place in Midtown, with the exact location shared upon registration.

This project was made possible with support from It Gets Better, a nonprofit organization working to uplift, empower, and connect LGBTQ+ youth around the globe. Visit www.itgetsbetter.org.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

This is an inclusive space. You don’t need a label to be at JQY. You belong here if you feel you belong here. Because our community is so diverse with regard to identities (sexual, gender, religious, etc.), beliefs, and experiences, please get to know people instead of making assumptions about them.

Everyone in this space is committed to keeping it a safe space. Anyone who fails to honor the Safe Space Standards may be asked to leave and/or prevented from participating in future JQY programming and/or events.
