Caitlyn Heritage Weekend is a 2 day celebration of Caitlyn's heritage in all of its forms.We invite you to explore what that could mean in the context of Caitlyn who is of mixed heritage, and what that heritage means to you.Caitlyn Heritage Weekend can be an exploration of a multicultural background, the performance of traditional practices. It can be an expression of self, the representation of ethnic and racial identities that so often go underrepresented. It can simply be a celebration of a character we know and love.
