Tickets for the event sold out.
“Joining Hearts has always been one of the highlights of the gay community each summer,” Kerry Loftis, director of events for Joining Hearts, an all-volunteer, non-profit charity, said before the event. “We get people who come here from all over the country for this event. They plan their vacations around it. People consider it like a big family reunion.”
DJ Roland Belmares, an Atlanta favorite from Austin, Texas, returned to spin for this year’s event, dubbed “Splash.” Joining Hearts resident DJ Mike Pope also provided beats.
Every dollar raised through ticket sales and tips goes directly to AID Atlanta and Jerusalem House.
