Join our contingent of DC LGBTQ Jews and our friends for this fun event. Expect singing, dancing and maybe even a little skipping...

ALL ARE WELCOME!

Sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and a positive attitude.
If you've got a GLOE t-shirt, great! If you have other items that "read" Jewish or LGBT you'd like to wear, great! If you just want to wear your usual warm-weather wear, great!

6) Can I bring a friend? Even if they aren't Jewish/LGBT/etc?
Yes! All are welcome!

7) What will we be doing, exactly?
We will be waving and smiling, perhaps a little group singing. (However, with Capital Queer Prom playing music right behind us, it will probably be a quick group shout of, "Shabbat Shalom!" to the crowd in between their songs.

We'll also be throwing candy and some GLOE-related swag. We take turns carrying the banner.
