Imagine this: You’re listening to Lethbridge’s newest podcast exploring untold stories of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, enjoying live music and drag performances from Alberta-based artists, learning about film and community resources and vibing at a dance party to top it all off. Sounds like an unforgettable evening? 

Don’t miss the Queer in Alberta Season 3 Video Podcast Launch Party!

On Friday, April 18 at the Galt Museum & Archives, join video podcast host Kels Valenzuela Delamarter for a celebration of Queer in Alberta, the Lethbridge-based video podcast that explores the untold stories of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Alberta. Now in its third season, the series celebrates queer life through heartfelt conversations with drag artists, creatives and other changemakers. Blending humour, resilience and belonging, Queer in Alberta offers a seat at the table for anyone who’s ever wondered what it means to be seen, heard and celebrated.

At the Video Podcast Launch Party, guests will get an exclusive look at some highlights from season three of the series, enjoy live music and drag performances and have a chance at awesome door prizes. The spectacular lineup of performers includes interviewees from the series Robert Adam, Dick Goblin, and Francheska Dynamites, and community organizations Qspace, Lethbridge Pride Fest, Outreach Southern Alberta, Lethbridge Library and Pro-Choice YQL will have tables to connect with attendees about their resources.

Kels remarks on what excites her most about her Season 3 Launch Party:

“Lethbridge holds my heart. Like so many others, I moved here and found myself staying longer than originally expected. I found a special, tight knit, and fierce arts community that’s unlike anywhere else. I am so excited to hold the event in the city that continues to shape who I am as a creative and as a storyteller. The event is my love letter and thank you to Lethbridge!”

This free event begins at 6:00 PM and is open to all ages.
