A Stonewall Reunion Dance will take place on Sunday, June 19 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Flavor to commemorate the beginnings of LGBTQ Pride. The event will be a fundraiser to support the victims and families of the attack in Orlando. Flavor is located at 15 E. Centre St. in Baltimore.

There will be a buffet of family reunion/picnic-themed food, as created by executive chef of Flavor, Julia Belton, as well as a signature cocktail. To celebrate the first decade after the Stonewall uprising, music from 1969-1979 will be played. It will be an all ages dance so that fathers can take their kids for Father’s Day. There will also be games and prizes.

“It shouldn’t be that we only run into friends once a year at Pride,” Bethany Henderson, SAGECAP Program Manager, told the Blade. “The Stonewall Family Reunion is a celebration halfway in between Honor Our LGBT Elder Day and Baltimore Pride, and it brings us together around an important time in our history.”

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door and can be purchased at http://stonewallfamilyreunion.eventbrite.com.
