This week I talked with Alison Burgos about the 23rd anniversary of Girls In Wonderland that takes place May 30th through June 3rd in Orlando, Florida. Girls In Wonderland was founded in 2000 by the trio Amy Alonso, Yesenia Leon & Burgos the women behind Pandora Events. This powerhouse lesbian event production company from South Beach has created & produced some of the hottest LGBTQ soirées & music festivals in the US. In a little over 2 decades the iconic event has become a force on its own with over 10,000 attendees coming from near & far representing all colors of the rainbow & taking over a 700-room resort. The event brings together some of the most influential LGBTQ artists, celebrities, athletes, influencers & changemakers nationally including Leisha Hailey, Kate Moennig, Fortune Feimster & Chante Wayans to name a few. This year’s event kicks off with a Welcome Happy Hour on Thursday May 30th from 6P to 8P for a mix & mingle with live music by Deb Hundseder followed by the Traffic Jam opening party with special guest DJs Pat Pat, Dlux & Zehno. Friday begins with the Wet Pool Party with Chloe Star performing live, followed by Citizen Jane performance at the L-Lounge Happy Hour & then comedian Kristin Key takes the stage who has appeared at The Improv & TV series Last Comic Standing & Bring the Funny. Friday concludes with Snow Tha Product performance & then the Afterhours Afterglow Party. There will be more epic pool parties & fabulous events throughout the weekend. I talked to Alison about what she hopes to accomplish with Girls In Wonderland this year & her spin on our LGBTQ issues.
