Los Angeles LGBT Center celebrates 'Golden Hour': A Queer AANHPI night market
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KABC) -- Culture, identity, and joy were displayed in all forms! The Los Angeles LGBT Center hosted its second annual Golden Hour: A Queer AANHPI Night Market on Saturday, May 17.
In celebration of AAPI and Pride Month, this event honored Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) in the LGBT community.
This year's event paid homage to global girl group KATSEYE member Lara Raj, for inspiring a new generation of queer Gen Z around the world and positively representing the AAPI and the LGBTQ+ community.
Guests experienced queer AANHPI-owned food and retail vendors, traditional tea and tasting ceremonies, a karaoke lounge, mahjong tutorials, a retro glamour-style photo booth, and a Golden Hour-branded tote filled with swag. There were two extra drink vouchers for guests 21 and older.
There were live performances by Queer LiberAsian, House of Menchavez, Ancestral Vision Movement, Big Mama Tama, Sam Paguita, and drag artist Prince. DJ sets by DJ Ethical Drvgs and MINZ were also present.
This was a free event for all ages. General admission was available through RSVP.
