Each year, we come together as a community to celebrate the progress we’ve made and raise up the work that lays ahead until each and every LGBTQ+ Mainer can live their authentic life, free from discrimination, prejudice, bias and violence.

With the progress Maine has made in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re excited to adapt our annual Gala, normally held each spring at the Holiday Inn, to an outdoor event at Thompson’s Point in Portland.

Please join us for this very special end-of-summer celebration in support of EqualityMaine!

-Opening reception with cocktails and a food tasting extravaganza with some of Portland’s favorite food trucks and restaurants
