A Big Gay Market is a designated intentional and affirmative space for LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies, especially for those in our community who have intersecting marginalized identities, to join together in queer and trans joy for a cause.

For two decades, Say It Loud! BIPOC Pride has been a lifeline disguised as a celebration. While the music plays, IOOV delivers life-saving health screenings, HIV testing, mental health support, harm reduction resources, housing navigation, food access, employment connections, and direct pathways to care. We meet our people where they are: without shame, judgment, and compromise.

These events are inclusive, community-centered experiences that weave together music, healing arts, creativity, nature, and intentional connection. Each gathering honors a different phase of the seasonal journey and welcomes people of all genders, identities, and backgrounds.

Our summer wellness event is called Embodying the Wild Light. This gathering is all about embodying confidence, boldness, and authentic self-expression. It’s a celebration of being fully present and free to express your truth. As the sun reaches its peak, this event calls participants to embrace their wild energy and shine brightly, without fear of judgment from themselves or the outside world.
