Now under new ownership, the iconic 4-story building has undergone a major transformation to become the region’s most renowned destination for top-tier arts and entertainment, nightlife and dancing, and creative self-expression with a community-first approach to everything we do.
The historic building located at 706 North 3rd Street in Harrisburg was established in 1985 as Stallions Entertainment Complex. During this time, it became a prominent fixture in Central Pennsylvania’s LGBTQ+ community, and this legacy will be carried on through Karma.
Karma prominently celebrates that it is an LGBTQ-owned, operated, and supported business. Karma proudly welcomes everyone of all cultures, identities, preferences, and backgrounds. As such, we place the comfort and safety of guests as the highest priority. Through enhanced security and staff training, Karma will be a leading example of a safe and secure public space where unique self-expression is welcomed, celebrated, and protected.
