Celebrate Pride Month
June 30, 2026| 6:30 pm – 8:45 pm
The Benicia Public Library invites the community to a special Pride Month screening of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert on Tuesday, June 30.
This iconic, high-energy film follows two drag performers and a transgender woman as they journey across the Australian outback in a lavender bus, celebrating friendship, identity, and self-expression along the way. Known for its unforgettable costumes, humor, and heart, the film has become a beloved classic and a meaningful part of LGBTQ+ cultural history.
The screening is rated R, and attendees under 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
In the spirit of the film, costumes are highly encouraged, and prizes will be awarded for the best looks of the evening. Guests are invited to come dressed to impress and celebrate Pride in style. Attendees are also encouraged to bring a favorite LGBTQ+ book title to swap, creating an opportunity to share stories and discover new reads within the community.
Free popcorn and Dirty Soda will be provided!
This program is free and open to the public. For more information, please visit the Benicia Public Library or contact library staff.
