Come Out for Stonewall: A Brighter Tomorrow

Join us Saturday, October 17, 2026, for Come Out for Stonewall: A Brighter Tomorrow, Stonewall Columbus’ annual celebration of community, connection, and the future we’re building together.
This year’s theme, A Brighter Tomorrow, invites us to look forward with optimism and possibility. Through light, music, celebration, and collective generosity, we’ll honor the 45 years of community that brought us here and illuminate what comes next.
Throughout the evening, guests will have opportunities to Light Up Stonewall, dedicate a light to someone who helped light their way, and support the programs and mission that make a brighter future possible for LGBTQ+ people across our community.
