The spring event will be held at the Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA) on the 3rd floor from 10 am to 2:30 pm with an access hour from 10am to 11am. This event is for all ages. During set up and the event, all volunteers with IPA will remain masked. The first hour of the event, designated an "Access Hour," will have no amplified sound and all attendees will be required to masks. Earplugs, N95 masks, and a quiet room will be available throughout the event. All indoor IPA events are fragrance free. IPA is also still seeking sponsors for the event. Community organizations interested are encouraged to contact fundraising@ithacapridealliance.org for further information.

“This is a great opportunity for folks to play with their personal style and that is really important for the queer and trans community,” Andrew Scheldorf, IPA Chair, said. “It’s also a kind of community building that is important for us to support.”
The Ithaca Pride Alliance is still looking for event volunteers. Those interested should fill out the All Y’all Volunteer Form to be contacted with further information. Those interested in year-around volunteer opportunities can fill out the volunteer form at the bottom of this page.
