Cuba Pride, May 2024!

Coming up this May, visit Cuba for the annual Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia! That’s the Cuban equivalent of a Pride celebration, with various activities scheduled over the span of a couple weeks. Our schedule will coincide with some of the events in Havana.

This trip was the brainchild of Brenda Priddy, photographer extraordinaire, Cuba aficionado, and car freak. Cuba has a wealth of classic American cars, and each one has an owner with a story. Whenever Brenda spearheads a trip, we spend some of it checking out fun cars, meeting the owners, and learning their stories. It’s been a tradition ever since our first trip together in 2014, when we went on a quest to find a legendary Corvette!

The trip runs from May 9th to the 17th; or you can come just for the Havana leg, May 9th to the 13th. A $1,000 deposit secures your spot. To learn more, send us a message. We’ll follow up with you to answer any questions and discuss next steps. Or if you’re ready to pull the trigger, you can sign up for the trip with the Reservation Form!

To be clear: This trip is open to everyone, ages 18 and up! You don’t have to be LGBTQ+.
