Riot!

Celebrate Pride right. RIOT is a night of insatiable beats, dancing, drag performance, gogos, vendors and ways to connect.

DJ La Posmobaby (van, Gateo) is joined by La Zonida, Barbie Aphelion and LuNa$ty. As you go wild on the dance floor be enthralled by the GoGo magic of RA (‘van’) and Angel del Perreo. And what would pride be without drag? The iconic Peaches N Screams will be hosting a number of badass performers, Heathen (‘van’) is joined by NuMetalCowboy, Ghost of Judith,Phoenix Hellfire and LHUSIE.

We’re going to RIOT, you in?

Pride is a time for celebrating queer joy. But pride is also a riot. Our lives are vulnerable, and our existence continues to be threatened. Come RIOT with us and connect as we build trans and queer community in ‘Victoria’. All of the DJs, performance artists, dancers, vendors and producers of RIOT are queer, with the majority also being trans.

This project is partially funded by The CRD Arts Equity Grant.

This event is taking place on the traditional, stolen, unceded land of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We acknowledge the rich cultural history of the many peoples and rituals that have been affected by the ongoing process of dispossession and colonialism. We hold this understanding in our interactions and engagements with this land and its people.
