Enjoy a storytime and Drag performance with Serenity Lockhart at Wistariahurst Museum!
Wistariahurst Museum is celebrating Pride month during a special Sensory Friendly Sunday Funday on June 28th from 12:00-3:00 pm.
This year, we are welcoming back Serenity Lockhart for a family-friendly Drag Storytime and performance! Holyoke residents may recognize Serenity from her many amazing performances at Fame Eatery/Lounge, and we’re excited to welcome her back to Wistariahurst. Guests can also enjoy Pride-themed educational crafts and lawn games. Visitors will also be able to interact with fun historical activities based around Wistariahurst, and help staff search for our sleepy lion, Winston!
Wistariahurst Museum is dedicated to creating more sensory-friendly events for families with sensory sensitivities in mind. Lights will be dimmed around the inside of the museum, all activities will be low or mess-free, and areas will be available with reduced noise levels. Our Sensory Friendly Sunday Fundays are hosted so that everyone in our community can enjoy a celebratory afternoon in our museum and gardens. This event is free and open to all who want to celebrate Pride at Wistariahurst! This event will foster understanding and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
