Pride Month in Lancaster: Art, Film & Queer Community
This June, Lancaster Pride is proud to support two month-long collaborations celebrating LGBTQIA+ creativity, storytelling, and community connection across Lancaster.
From local queer and allied artists featured in small businesses throughout the city, to powerful films highlighting queer history, identity, and culture, these Pride Month projects invite our community to explore, reflect, celebrate, and show up for the people and places helping make Lancaster more vibrant and inclusive.
The Queer Art Feature
Lancaster Pride is excited to partner again with Kory Charles of the Lancaster Art Network to bring back The Queer Art Feature for Pride Month 2026.
This month-long art showcase highlights talented LGBTQIA+ and allied artists in spaces throughout Lancaster, with participating small businesses dedicating space to feature local artwork throughout June.
We are deeply grateful to the local businesses opening their doors for this year’s Queer Art Feature. Their support helps create more space for queer voices, creativity, and visibility in Lancaster’s arts and small business communities.

Zoetropolis Pride Collection
Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse is celebrating Pride Month with a special Pride Collection featuring three films, each paired with a pre-film screening of Amish Country Queer.
Amish Country Queer is an award-winning short documentary about Lancaster’s queer nightlife and drag culture, captured through the lens of trans non-binary artist Brady Pappas.
Featured Films:
A landmark documentary exploring New York City’s 1980s ballroom scene through the lives of Black and Latino drag queens, trans women, and LGBTQ+ performers. Paris is Burning celebrates resilience, identity, chosen family, and queer culture while examining race, class, gender, and survival in America.
A tender, powerful story told across three defining chapters in one young man’s life as he navigates identity, love, pain, and self-discovery.
This 1968 documentary takes viewers behind the scenes of the Miss All-American Camp Beauty Pageant, offering a look at drag culture, glamour, camaraderie, and tension in 1960s New York City.
