Queer Ball: Camp & Colour Explosion

This year’s Queer Ball is a celebration of extravagance, creativity, and all things gloriously loud. Think bold fabrics, glitter that doesn’t quit, and a whole lot of personality — because you’re not just attending a ball, you’re making an entrance.

Set in the historic Trades Hall, the night promises a curated experience with live music, dynamic performances, and a curated bar tab to keep the energy flowing. DJ sets will pulse through the evening, while drag artists and performers bring theatrical flair to the stage. It’s a night built for connection — whether you’re catching up with friends or meeting new faces on the dance floor.

Food will be available, so you can refuel between dances without missing a beat. Don’t worry if you’re not sure what to wear — embrace camp, channel your inner icon, or simply show up in something you love. The only dress code? Joy.

Remember: this is an 18+ event. Valid photo ID is required at the door. We encourage everyone to enjoy responsibly — and to leave the night with memories, not regrets.

18+ only. Valid photo ID required.
