Lavanda

Lavanda is a grassroots LGBTQ+ Music and Arts Festival aiming to build and support Boston's Queer Community. Founded by Emma Whitney in the fall of 2023, Lavanda was born out of a desire to create a place where queer folk can safely and freely express themselves while supporting LGBTQ+ artists.

Lavanda festivals provide a break from standard alcohol centered queer events by focusing on connection and hands-on activities. In addition to performances and vendor booths from queer folk, our festivals typically include free coloring pages and supplies, crafting kits, mocktails, and more.
