A **gay day** or **gay night** is a scheduled time at an establishment dedicated to attracting and catering to the [gay community](/source/Gay_community). They are typically held at [amusement parks](/source/Amusement_park) and other tourist attractions.

## Bars

In many communities there are no [gay bars](/source/Gay_bar) or gay community centers and therefore there are no facilities dedicated to or allowing for socializing amongst the [LGBTQ community](/source/LGBTQ_community). The most common form of a gay establishment is a gay bar and in areas without any this is the most common form of non-gay establishment to create a time and a place for [gay men](/source/Gay_men) and lesbians to congregate outside of private parties or trips to isolated [gay pride](/source/Gay_pride) events. These bars hold a gay night that markets to gay people to dance, drink and meet one another. This is in addition to their friends and supporters also known as the [PFLAG](/source/PFLAG) community or [straight allies](/source/Straight_ally) in general. The designated gay night is typically a slow night, such as Tuesday or Wednesday nights.

Attendance has grown over time; in 2010, the event had approximately 150,000 attendees.[1]
