The GLO Market is a monthly event supporting local queer-owned businesses and resources. Started in 2023, GLO Markets aim to showcase local talent where patrons can purchase from over 20+ LGBTQIA+ artists, resources, and entrepreneurs.
The GLO Market happens every third Saturday each month from 10 AM – 2 PM at The GLO Center.
