SUMMARY:Adult Homecoming 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate queer history together at Lancaster County Chooses Love’s Adult Homecoming: Pride Through the Decades. \n\n\n\nFor many LGBTQ+ folks\, homecoming was not always a place where we could be our full selves. Adult Homecoming is our chance to come together\, reclaim that experience\, and create the celebration we have always deserved. \n\n\n\nThis year\, we’re honoring the generations of LGBTQ+ people who came before us\, the movements and moments that shaped our community\, and the queer joy that keeps us moving forward. \n\n\n\nAnd yes\, we want you to dress the part. \n\n\n\nPull inspiration from your favorite decade\, queer icons\, Pride history\, music\, fashion\, or any moment that makes you feel seen and celebrated. Whether you show up in disco\, grunge\, glam\, Y2K\, or something uniquely yours\, we’re excited to celebrate with you. \n\n\n\nLGBTQ+ folks and allies are welcome.  \n\n\n\nNote: This event is 21+ only. \n\n\n\nWhat to Expect\n\n\n\nCome ready for a night filled with: \n\n\n\n\nA taco bar with vegan and gluten-free options\n\n\n\nDrinks flowing all evening\n\n\n\nA live DJ spinning the perfect dance mix\n\n\n\nA photobooth to document your decade-worthy looks\n\n\n\nA silent auction filled with exciting items and experiences\n\n\n\nPlenty of opportunities to connect\, celebrate\, and make some queer history of our own\n\n\n\n\nThink of it as a gala\, the LCCL way. No assigned seats. No long speeches. Just a short program about the work we’re building together\, and then plenty of time to celebrate as a community. \n\n\n\nParty With a Purpose\n\n\n\nAdult Homecoming is more than one incredible night. It is Lancaster County Chooses Love’s second-largest fundraising event of the year\, and every ticket purchased\, auction bid placed\, sponsorship secured\, and donation made helps fuel our work throughout Lancaster County. \n\n\n\nYour support helps LCCL create affirming spaces\, connect people with resources\, provide food and basic needs\, support LGBTQ+ youth and adults\, advocate for our community\, and make sure queer and trans people across Lancaster County know they belong and have somewhere to turn. \n\n\n\nWhen you celebrate with us\, you help make all of this possible. \n\n\n\nOur History. Our Joy. Our Future.\n\n\n\nQueer history has always been about more than the moments that make the history books. It lives in the people who found each other\, cared for one another\, created community\, fought for change\, and chose joy even when the world made that difficult. \n\n\n\nThis Homecoming\, we’re honoring that history while raising funds to keep building what comes next. \n\n\n\nChoose your decade. Plan your look. Gather your people. And meet us on the dance floor. \n\n\n\nGet your tickets and help us reach our Adult Homecoming fundraising goal! \n\n\n\nGet your tickets\n\n\n\nQuestions about Adult Homecoming\, sponsorships\, or the event?Email Laura@LancasterChoosesLove.org.
