The opening ceremony on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 11:00 AM will be a significant moment, with local leaders, organizers, and guest speakers, including a virtual appearance by Cleve Jones, founder of the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. This ceremony will also mark the formal entrustment of original materials from the 1994 Wabash Valley AIDS Memorial Quilt display to the Vigo County History Center for preservation and public access, highlighting an important moment in local history.
Throughout the three-day event, community organizations will be present with informational booths, and various activities will take place at the History Center and nearby locations. Free HIV and STI testing will be available daily from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM through Positive Link. Additionally, on Saturday, April 25, the Pride Center of Terre Haute will host an “Heroes vs. Villains” all-ages drag show in the evening, followed by the “Stitch & Strut” 21+ drag show at the Treehouse Eatery & Drinkery.
General admission to the Vigo County History Center applies during the quilt display, with discounted pricing available using the code word “PRIDE.” The collaboration of the Pride Center of Terre Haute, the Vigo County History Center, and the Terre Haute Community AIDS Action Group has made this event possible, bringing a meaningful and educational experience to the community.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with a significant memorial and support the local community. Join us at the Vigo County History Center from April 23 to April 25, 2026, for the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt Display.
