Oct3
Queer Kids Fest is a free, all-ages celebration of music, art, books, and joyful self-expression for 2SLGBTQIA+ kids, families, and allies. Held annually each October at the Northampton Center for the Arts at 33 Hawley, this festive day brings together local artists, authors, performers, and community partners to uplift queer youth and their creativity.
From storytime with award-winning authors to face-painting, hands-on crafts, an open mic youth variety show, and a crafty parade—Queer Kids Fest is packed with opportunities to shine, share, and celebrate together. You'll also find delicious snacks, queer kidlit vendors, and local makers who support inclusive family fun.
