GayZone

A safe space for queer wellness. Access sexual health testing and information, find resources, and connect with your local community, all in one spot.

Affirm

Gender-affirming care support. Our team provides peer-led support, information, and referrals to help you navigate care on your terms, at your pace.

Catch MAX across the festival

Every year, MAX attends several events during the festival to connect community members to health resources and support event staff. 

This year, our team is excited to attend the 20+ events featured below. If you see us, come say Hi! and check out our table packed full of goodies like:

  • Safer sex, substance use, and HRT kits
  • Health resources, including our drug information cards and care cards
  • Stickers and buttons with our classic designs and some fresh, new ones

While you’re at our table, we'll answer your health-related questions, help connect you with health services like STBBI testing, and introduce you to our community partners. 

Those of us attending parties also provide safer substance use supplies like sterile equipment, can administer Naloxone and basic first aid, and work with event staff to ensure attendees have a good time and stay safe.
