March 31st Capital City Pride held it’s 2nd Annual TDOV Music Event at The Spanish Ballroom in Tacoma, WA. The event was an all ages resounding success, with attendees from all backgrounds coming together in support of transgender and gender non-conforming visibility representation in the music industry. The performances were electrifying, showcasing the immense talent of Skyscape Paradise, Jack Jay & Band and Sticks & Bones Marching Band.

What made the event truly special was its intimate atmosphere. In this space, individuals felt free to express themselves authentically, fostering a sense of belonging and community. The intimate setting allowed for meaningful connections to form, as musicians and attendees shared stories, exchanged ideas, and celebrated diversity together.

Throughout the evening, there was a palpable sense of love and magic in the air. It was evident in the smiles on people's faces, the laughter that filled the room, and the sense of hope and solidarity that permeated every interaction. The event served as a reminder of the power of music to transcend boundaries and bring people together, united in a shared vision of inclusivity and acceptance.

Overall, the Trans Day of Visibility Music Event was not only a celebration of transgender, gender non-conforming and allies talent but also a testament to the resilience and strength of the transgender community. It was a reminder that visibility matters, and that by amplifying diverse voices, we can create a more just and equitable world for all.

See you all next year for another round! We look forward to it.
