Step back in time to the vibrant 1960s-70s Chinatown nightlife at the Glade Show Lounge! This iconic venue was a cornerstone of Hawaii's LGBTQ+ history, where drag queens and transgender performers dazzled the crowd.
The Glades, as it was affectionately known, was a mahu-friendly club which provided a haven for those seeking solace and community during a time in which acceptance was scarce and hatred often turned deadly, the Glade Show Lounge stood as a beacon of beauty and belonging.
