Come Out for Stonewall

Retro-styled graphic for Stonewall Columbus event 'Come Out for Stonewall: The Rainbow Rewind'. Features bold, 3D rainbow-gradient text with neon triangle accents on a black background.

Celebrate the decades. Honor our legacy. Fuel our future.

Join us for The Rainbow Rewind, an unforgettable evening celebrating the decades that shaped Stonewall Columbus and the LGBTQ+ community in Central Ohio: the bold 80s, the vibrant 90s, the fearless 00s, the powerful 10s, and the transformative 20s. This year’s event coincides with an incredible milestone. Stonewall Columbus is receiving a Historical Marker from the Ohio History Connection, making us only the fourth LGBTQ+ marker in the state to be honored in this way.

Expect a night of connection, nostalgia, and joy, with:

  • DJ + Dancing
  • Live Entertainment
  • Small Bites
  • Cash/Card Bar (first drink is on us for SWC members!)
  • Decade-Inspired Fashion Encouraged

Celebrate with us in style!

Pick your favorite decade and show up in style! Think neon tracksuits, flannel grunge, Y2K metallics, indie hipsters, or 2020s queer futurism. Whether you go vintage or remix the eras, show off your pride through the decades.
