Join River City Pride for the first RCP Gayla at the Helms Hall 🌈
It's an upscale evening celebrating queer joy, advocacy, community impact, and the people helping shape a more inclusive future across the Evansville region.
The evening will feature a plated dinner from Chef Lo, live entertainment, community awards, a silent auction, and highlights of River City Pride’s growing initiatives and future vision. Designed to bring together community leaders, local businesses, artists, healthcare professionals, advocates, and supporters, the Gayla is equal parts celebration, connection, and purpose.
Guests can expect an elevated, yet welcoming atmosphere filled with storytelling, local talent, meaningful conversation, and opportunities to directly support LGBTQIA+ programs, outreach, education, and advocacy throughout the Tri-State. Whether you are attending to celebrate, network, support the mission, or simply experience Evansville’s first large-scale upscale LGBTQIA+ focused gala event. 💖
🎨 Theme: Color Outside the Lines
This year’s theme celebrates individuality, authenticity, creativity, and the courage to exist beyond expectations. “Color Outside the Lines” reflects the spirit of the LGBTQIA+ community — people who have continuously challenged norms, created space for self-expression, and helped build a world that is more vibrant, compassionate, and inclusive because they dared to live authentically.
🖤 Attire: Creative Formal Attire
Guests are encouraged to dress in formal or cocktail attire. Bold colors, artistic details, vintage glam, modern statement pieces, and expressive fashion choices are absolutely welcome. Whether classic and elegant or creatively styled, we invite guests to show up as the fullest version of themselves.
Reserve your spot to support River City Pride’s mission and be part of a stronger, more visible community.
