Nightmare Night Market - Gala: Sat, Oct. 28, 7-11 pm, The Center & Pride Plaza

Generously sponsored by See Tickets and hosted by The Center

Get in the spooky spirit as we reimagine our annual InterPride Gala as a nightmarish night market hosted at our local LGBTQ community center. Enjoy a diverse multicultural selection of food and drinks served up by some of San Diego’s best QTBIPOC small businesses and Pride supporters. Come casual or in full Halloween costume to enjoy music, face painting, interactive art, and live contortionists. We’ll then dance the night away as we move down to Nightmare on Normal Street, San Diego’s annual LGBTQ Halloween costume contest and block party. It’s a night of fun, fright, and fantastic food you won’t want to miss! 

(Nightmare Night Market food & 2 beverages are hosted. Nightmare on Normal food & beverage are cash/credit only.)
