Born from the ashes of the Lavender Scare, an era of persecution that queer resilience turned into a spark for revolution, House Party: Lavender Wave rises with unstoppable pride. This year’s theme celebrates the bold, unapologetic power of community resistance. Get ready for a night that pulses with exceptional performances at the VIP Reception, a bumping dance floor, and all the kiki’s your show-stopping look will ignite.
