Pride & Joy: Greater Lowell is a welcoming, queer-centered community for people of all ages and stages of life. Whether you're just beginning to explore your identity or have long been part of queer spaces, we gather to connect, share joy, and support one another through life’s many changes.

Our group is rooted in the values of chosen family, creativity, mutual support, and care. We honor the diverse paths that bring people to queer community and hold space for conversation, laughter, healing, and celebration.

While we recognize that queer joy itself can be a powerful act of resistance, our focus is on building authentic connection and fostering a sense of belonging.

We are not currently affiliated with any other organizations or the business that hosts our gatherings—our space is held by community, for community.

Come get spooky with Pride & Joy: Greater Lowell!
