Come celebrate AAPI Queer Pride in Chinatown! 🏳️🌈
Join us for a two-part event hosted at Welcome to Chinatown’s Hub! We’ll be hosting a panel in the afternoon with Lauren Chan, Gerrie Lim, Haoran Chen and Jackie Wong. At night, come back for a Mahjong Party hosted by Gaysian Tile Club + shop from Queer AAPI vendors!
Walk-ins are welcomed but we will be prioritizing ticket holders if we hit space capacity. These are two separate events - if you’d like to attend both (yay!), please RSVP for each separately.
