Sandpiper Vacations Presents: Pride Travel Night

🌈 Sandpiper's Pride Travel Night

Join Sandpiper Vacations, Columbus's LGBTQ+ owned travel agency, for a Pride Month celebration like no other! Come hang out with us, chat travel, sip a drink, and discover the safe, welcoming destinations that should be on your bucket list.

📅 Thursday, June 25, 2026

🕔 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

📍 Noble Cut Distillery, Gahanna, OH

Why We're Doing This

Right now, many LGBTQ+ travelers, especially in the transgender community, are scared to travel due to the current political climate. As an LGBTQ+ owned agency, our mission has always been to help our community find safe, welcoming destinations, and that mission feels more urgent than ever.

This event is our way of bringing the Columbus LGBTQ+ community together, having honest conversations about where we can travel and feel celebrated, and reminding folks that the world is still full of places ready to welcome us with open arms.

What to Expect

• Vendor Tables featuring our top LGBTQ+ friendly travel partners (Disney, Celebrity Cruises, Virgin Voyages, AmaWaterways, and more!)
• Travel Chats with Sandpiper advisors who specialize in cruises, all-inclusive resorts, Hawaii, Disney, and global travel
• Light Snacks & a Drink Ticket (one drink ticket per RSVP, while supplies last!)
• Arcade Games to enjoy at the venue
• A 30-Minute Presentation (6:15 PM - 6:45 PM) on LGBTQ+ travel highlights, safe destinations, and what to know in 2026 and beyond
• A Raffle Benefiting Kaleidoscope Youth Center, a Columbus nonprofit serving LGBTQ+ youth ages 12-24. Raffle tickets available at the event!

Free Drink Ticket = RSVP Required

This event is FREE, but to get your drink ticket, you need to RSVP by Friday, June 19, 2026. Walk-ins are welcome but won't receive a drink ticket. Snag your spot early!

Who Should Come?

• Anyone in the LGBTQ+ community who loves to travel (or wants to!)
• Allies who want to support LGBTQ+ owned business and community
• Couples, friend groups, solo travelers, families, you name it
• Anyone curious about cruises, Disney trips, all-inclusive resorts, or international travel

Bring a friend. Bring your partner. Bring your travel-loving cousin. The more, the merrier.
