LGBTQ+ group joins Pride of Caldwell County for week, festival
Lockhart Pride
Lockhart the small town 30 minutes away from Austin where many Austin creatives have relocated to escape the growing costs of the city has a burgeoning queer community and this year will mark the first annual Lockhart Pride Week.
In this historic and unprecedented event there are 14 queer-centric Pride Week events slated to take place at locations all over the Lockhart Town Square as well as Luna Gardens, a new event venue just 2 miles from the square.
To cap off the week Luna Gardens will be hosting Lockhart Pride Fest on June 19 from 4-10 p.m. Lockhart Pride Fest will take place at the beautiful Luna Gardens, a large acreage site in the Lockhart countryside and will encompass drag performances, live music, vendors, food and drink and a professional fireworks display. Best of all, it is free to attend.
