Pride Eve: A Pre-Pride Drag Dance Party

Kick off Pride season with a night of drag and dancing at Pride Eve, a pre-Pride dance party celebrating community, self-expression, and getting the party started early.

Join us at Paul Phillips Hall for an intimate, high-energy evening featuring two drag performers, DJ NessT keeping us on the dance floor, and a cash bar serving canned cocktails, mocktails and cider. This is a come-as-you-are, dance-all-night kind of vibe. No parade crowds yet, just good music, great performances, and even better energy.

Whether you’re warming up for Pride week or just looking for a fun night out with your people, Pride Eve is your invitation to show up, show out, and start the celebration early.
