Big Wig Ball

Join us for an extraordinary evening of queer hair, fashion, and performance; and a raging dance party! We want you to be imaginative and outrageous from head-to-toe. So, come proper in a fully coiffed lace-front, a choppy neon asymmetrical bob, or whatever wig-flipping style you dare create to support queer and trans youth arts!

This event welcomes attendees 21 years and older.
