Dapper Ball is a celebration of androgynous swag, butch realness and queer culture. Prepare for an evening celebrating the king or queen within you as we roll out the red carpet for community to get your shine (and swag) on.
Hosted by Fawzia Mirza & Tribble, the evening will feature performances, DJ sets by DJ Dapper & Slo ‘Mo’s Audio Jack, and a Soul Train style line dance where you can strut your swag for the chance to win prizes.
You will receive a complimentary drink upon arrival and have the chance to take your photo on the red carpet. Chicago's sexiest cocktail bar, world renowned The Violet Hour will provide the cash bar featuring custom cocktails, beer and wine. The venue is wheelchair accessible via an elevator and will feature all-gender bathrooms.
As spaces for queer/lesbian/bi women shutter across the country, DAPPER BALL is a moment to celebrate our culture and self-expression through style, performance, dance and community connection. DAPPER BALL aims to be a welcoming space and invites all people who value or identify with the LGBTQ community to join the party. We believe swag is personal so how you express your style at the party is up to you!
