Join the First City Pride Center for the 7th Annual Stonewall Block Party!
June 22nd 2PM-10PM
With legislation across the United States attacking the queer community, it is more important than ever to come together as a community to be visible, resilient, and show our existence can’t be erased!
To commemorate Stonewall and celebrate this beautiful community, join us for a free block party on Bull Street between E 31st and E 33rd Street! FCPC will rock the block celebrating our seven-year anniversary and commemorating the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots with panel discussions, a reading of the events of Stonewall, musical entertainment, advocacy & community organizations, free HIV testing, food trucks and drinks (with mocktail options), and so much more!

Red Williams
Competing for the stonewall crown is the Crimson Crossdresser! Savannahs very own scarlet showgirl! RED!
I’ve been a drag entertainer for the past 3 years, thanks to my large shoulders I also work part time as a coffee table. In 2022 I was blessed by Lowcountry Pride with my first hosting gig, immediately after I created the Crimson Cabaret (formerly known and the Showghouls Showcases) I’ve been dancing, sweating, and show-running and emceeing around Georgia and South Carolina ever since! In my spare time I enjoy hiding from the IRS, Yoga, and when the yoga doesn’t work I put on my finest Frankenstein couture and find a nice village to terrorize. I was lucky enough to win the 2023 Connect Savannahs best local drag queen award, and yesterday I was lucky enough to gay my way outta a straight jacket and return from my Bedlam staycation!
