ERIE, PA -- No LGBT pride is complete without a sharp-tongued drag queen and a snarky DJ. This year, Lovin Heart and DJ Tony G-Spot reunite to bring together the largest collection of entertainers any show in this area has ever seen! All proceeds will be split evenly between NWPA Pride Alliance, Inc and Dramashop.

NW PA Pride Alliance, Inc. will have an LGBT community table at the Blues and Jazz Festival. The Blues and Jazz Fest runs from Saturday August 2 to Sunday, August 3 in Frontier Park at W 8th and the Bayfront Highway, Erie PA. The event is organized by the Erie Art Museum, and draws thousands of people. There has been an LGBT table for several years now, and this is a great way to reach out to the greater Erie community in a fun and relaxed setting. Individuals are welcome to stop by to just say hello or to help staff the table. We usually run from noon to about 8 PM each day. Other related groups are very much welcome to also share table space, but we do ask that your group has representatives to help staff at least part of the event. To let us know, either register online at http://www.nwpapride.org and fill in the name of your organization for Group name for info table or contact Michael Mahler at (814) 456-9833 or [email protected].
