For the first time ever, xHood is bringing Family Weekend to the South!
We know that Black & Queer families deserve spaces where we can show up fully, feel celebrated, and connect with our people. That’s why we’re partnering with Family Equality to create a weekend filled with love, joy, and unforgettable memories—our way.
This isn’t just another event.
It’s a family reunion, a safe haven, and a celebration of us. Whether you’re bringing babies, big kids, chosen fam, or rolling solo, there’s something for everyone.
