Host Hotel - The Tuxon
The Tuxon has already proven itself to be a warm, welcoming place for queer travelers, and they’re making Big Gay Weekend even sweeter with 10% off your stay when you book through our special link.
And this is absolutely a two-night situation, but we'll have plenty to keep you busy.
Check in Friday, head out for the Kickoff Kiki, get some sleep, run/walk/strut your way through the Big Gay 5K Saturday morning, then make your triumphant return to The Tuxon for our Big Gay Pool Party Saturday afternoon. Pool. Music. Glitter. Questionable decisions made responsibly.
Best of all, The Tuxon is only about one mile from the action, so you can stay close to everything without sleeping directly inside a cloud of race-day glitter.
Book two nights. Save 10%. Make a Big Gay Weekend of it.

Join Lucinda Holliday, the Big Gay Voice at the finish line, for three Drag Bingo events packed with prizes, laughs, and absolutely no guarantee of mature behavior when someone pulls O-69. Proceeds help to support Big Gay Weekend's Rainbow Row nonprofit partners.
