The Tucson LGBT Chamber of Commerce invites Southern Arizona’s LGBTQIA+ Community and Allies to their Burlesque-Themed Holiday Gay-La. The event takes place Saturday, December 10, 2022, at the Tucson Museum of Art. Back for the first time in three years, the Gay-La is proving to be bigger and better than ever, as the most glamorous event of the season supporting the LGBTQIA+ business community.  

An evening of delights for all the senses, attendees will walk the red carpet as professional photographers snap away. Guests will be treated to delicious bites as they float about the room, immersed in the seductive glamour of burlesque performances, live music, and Tucson’s gay glitterati. Everyone can enjoy as an observer or a playful participant in the elegance and fun as the soirée spills onto the patio under the twinkling stars.

Why this event now? We can’t deny that the landscape of Arizona requires fortitude, togetherness, and celebration for the community that fuels our local businesses every day. 

The Gay-La is a celebratory farewell to 2022, as we embrace our community’s values and resilience moving boldly into a New Year. Standing up and out, proud of who we are in the world, The Tucson LGBT Chamber of Commerce welcomes all who view inclusivity as a benefit to business and community.

Tickets are $100, inclusive of all the night’s activities, performances, burlesque-themed photo booth (by Desert Memories), food (by Gallery of Food & Dedicated Gluten Free), and a complimentary beverage. Student and group savings, as well as sponsorship opportunities are available. Can't attend but want to support the Chamber? Choose the Supporter ticket!
