We are thrilled to announce the launch of Queeritiba Nights, a new event series created to bring the local LGBTQ+ community together in celebration, fun, and solidarity. So of course we are kicking off with a dance party for the best holiday. Join us for a new Halloween Costume Party at Curitiba Art Café on October 25 from 7-11 PM—and trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
This is more than just a party. Queeritiba Nights is about embracing our fabulous, vibrant community, and what better way to start than with a spooky, fun, and queer Halloween bash? The atmosphere will be electric, with beats from Upchurch Event Co keeping the crowd moving and a special drag performance by our own, Shenandoah to add even more flair to the night.
Costume Contest: Show Us Your Best!
Do you love Halloween? Show off your creativity at our costume contest, starting at 8 PM. Strut your stuff down the runway and impress our panel of judges to win a spooky prize! There are no categories—just bring your best and most inventive look. The judges will take just a few minutes to decide, so you’ll know if you’re our champion in no time.
Tickets: Get Yours Now!
Tickets are on sale starting at $10 or grab one for $15 and take home a spooky souvenir cup to remember the night by. You can also buy tickets at the door, but we suggest grabbing them early to avoid the rush!
Food, Drinks & Vibes
Enjoy delicious food and drinks from Curitiba, available for purchase throughout the night. The vibe? Think spooky, fun, and absolutely queer. Come dressed to impress—but keep in mind, this is a public event with no age restrictions beyond the venue’s rules, so costumes should be appropriate for all.
Special Thanks to Our Sponsor
We want to give a huge thank you to Meza, our constant supporter and sponsor for this event. Not only has Meza helped make this night possible, but they also provided the fabulous design for our souvenir cups. We’re so grateful for their continued support of FAHASS and the LGBTQ+ community!
Why Queeritiba Nights?
As you may have noticed, Fredericksburg is somewhat lacking in gay bars or LGBTQ+ clubs, so Queeritiba Nights is filling a vital gap. It’s a chance for our community to come together, let loose, and celebrate one of the best holidays on the calendar. Dance, socialize, and revel in a safe, affirming space with our friends at Curitiba.
Support Pride Center FXBG
All funds raised at the event will support Pride Center FXBG, the LGBTQ services arm of FAHASS. The Pride Center is dedicated to increasing visibility and providing affirming resources, hosting engaging events, and creating space for our community. Your ticket purchase will help us continue offering these vital services and support the Center’s operations. So grab your friends, your best costume, and get ready to light up the night at Queeritiba Nights! We can’t wait to see you there! 🎃
