Hosted by Indiana Drag Legend (and Miss Gay Indiana 1995) Vicki St. James, Pride Lafayette’s Second Annual Rainbow Gala, An Emerald Isle Evening, will be a night unlike any other. Join us as we travel to the Emerald Isle of Ireland right from the Purdue Memorial Union Grand Ballrooms to honor Lowell Kane and Tenecia Waddell-Pyle with the Spirit of Pride Award and support Pride Lafayette’s year-round programming serving Greater Lafayette’s LGBTQ+ community.

Proceeds from the evening will provide much needed resources to help us continue operating the oldest LGBTQ+ community center in the state, producing events like Second Chance Prom and our annual OUTFest pride festival, the LGBTQ+ Health Equity Project, and supporting outreach groups like TransLafayette, and the Pride Lafayette Youth Group.
