🌈FLASHBACK FABULOUS

Community History Day with Jewels Long Beach

An Evening of History, Community & Drag

Do you recognize a face, place, or moment from Long Beach LGBTQ+ history?

Join us for a lively evening of stories, memories, archival photographs, and fabulous drag performances celebrating Long Beach's vibrant LGBTQ+ community. Through historic images, we'll uncover the people, places, events, and milestones that shaped our local history. Taking place on Veterans Day, the evening will also include a special moment of honor and reflection dedicated to the vital contributions, courage, and stories of Long Beach's military veterans.

 ✨ Your Memories Are History. ✨

Help identify photographs, share stories, reconnect with old friends, and ensure our community's history is preserved for future generations.

Hosted by Jewels Long Beach

Part talk show, part community history project, and part drag spectacular, Flashback Fabulous invites longtime community members, friends, and allies to help bring Long Beach's LGBTQ+ past to life.

“Flashback Fabulous” is the first event of the Historical Society of Long Beach’s “Uplifting Historical Collections of Long Beach’s LGBTQ+ Community” and was supported in part by funding provided by the State of California, administered by the California State Library. Additional funding from the Port of Long Beach. HSLB engages community members to gather knowledge that will be preserved and expand public access to LGBTQ+ archival collections and community history.
