Step right up for Pride-O-Scope, a one-hour variety spectacle beaming with talent, sparkle, and just the right amount of irreverence—all in support of Bloomington PRIDE and a sneak peek into the magic of Bloomington Pride 2025. Hosted at the beloved Gather Handmade, this special evening brings together local performers, quick wit, and community spirit in a fundraiser that's part talent show, part teaser trailer, and 100% queer joy.
Expect the unexpected: song, spoken word, surprises (and probably some sequins)—all wrapped in the cozy, eclectic charm of a shop that champions handmade and heart-made creativity.
Come for the show, stay for the vibes - and help us build something bold for 2025. Seating is limited, so snag your spot now before it becomes legend.
Gather with us. Laugh with us. Pride with us
