Lavanda is a grassroots LGBTQ+ Music and Arts organization curating dry events for 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 to safely and freely express themselves while supporting LGBTQ+ artists. 

​

Lavanda events 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.
