Oasis Youth Center

Big Hat Brunch 2025: Ocean Fantasy— where the magic of the sea meets the power of community.

As delightful as it is delicious, Oasis Youth Center's Big Hat Brunch is a fundraising fête and irreverent celebration of queer youth. As an official partner and sponsor of Tacoma Pride, Oasis invites guests near and far to join us for our annual whimsical brunch theme to rally for queer youth in this inspiring and awareness-raising event.

This year’s theme, Ocean Fantasy, beckons you to dive into a world of enchantment, mystery, and intrigue, where the ocean’s depths hold secrets as vast and varied as the stars above. The ocean, with its shimmering waves, vibrant coral reefs, and endless horizons, reflect the beauty of diversity, power of resilience, and magic of discovery. Just as the ocean connects distant shores, this event brings us together to celebrate the strength and unity of the LGBTQ+ community.

Let your imagination set sail as you embark on this enchanting journey to uplift and empower LGBTQ+ youth throughout Pierce County and beyond. Together, we can create a world where every young person has the support to navigate ever-changing tides and chart a course toward a bright and thriving future.

Oasis Youth Center is the sole queer cultural center supporting LGBTQ+ youth, 11-24, in Pierce County, Washington. Oasis’s mission is to transform the lives of queer and questioning youth by creating a safe place to learn, connect, and thrive. This guiding principle translates to over 30 hours of weekly programming and special events throughout the year tailored to the needs and interests of queer youth. These activities nurture a healthy, thriving community engaged in cultural celebration, leadership development, artistic expression, and stewardship of the legacy and impact the LGBTQ+ community has in the world.
