Event Overview
GALA Choruses signature event is our quadrennial Festival, which gathers LGBTQ+ choruses from all over North America and the world. Festival is five days of singing, connecting, and creating. It’s wall-to-wall concerts, workshops, social events, joy and pride. It’s the largest LGBTQ choral event in the world. It’s you with thousands of your peers taking over a city and filling it with song. In 2024, GALA Choruses Festival gathered about 7,000 singers from 122 choruses in Minneapolis. This is just a portion of the more than 15,000 singers and nearly 200 LGBTQ+ choruses in North America and beyond who make up GALA Choruses. Festival 2028 choirs will perform at world-class venues in downtown Minneapolis including Orchestra Hall, The Minneapolis Convention Center, and Central Lutheran Church.
Producer’s Comments
I just wanted to say a special thank you to the folks at PopUp WiFi. The service they provided was incredible. The connection that PopUp WiFi provided made it possible to live stream the choral concerts at GALA Festival 2024, the largest LGBTQ+ singing event in the world. It is not an overstatement to say that being able to stream these performances may well be what allows the LGBTQ+ choral movement (a global movement for LGBTQ+ rights) to continue into the future with an organization that can support its growth.
