Queer Diwali Ball is the only LGBTQIA+-centered Diwali celebration in the Tri-State area: a night where every part of us gets to shine. 🌈💖
Now in its fourth year, Queer Diwali Ball is bigger, brighter, and bolder than ever!
🌺 Theme: Rang Mahal: come dressed for the palace of colors. Bring the jewels, the drama, the full filmi glamour. 👑
🎭 Dazzling performers bringing music, dance, and drag to the stage
