On Friday, Oct 25, Pride Center FXBGG, a division of FAHASS, kicked off our exciting new event series, Queeritiba Nights, with an unforgettable Halloween dance party! Hosted at the welcoming and vibrant Curitiba Art Cafe, the event brought together members of the queer community and allies for a night of creativity, fun, and celebration.
From 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., the cafe pulsed with lively music from our talented DJ, Byron, from Upchurch Entertainment Co, setting the perfect mood for dancing and camaraderie. Attendees, decked out in their best Halloween costumes, enjoyed an evening filled with drinks, music, and community spirit. We even had a 3-song drag show intermission! The highlight of the night was undoubtedly our costume contest, hosted by the always fabulous local queen, Shenandoah. Participants had a chance to strut their stuff and show off their spectacular costumes in hopes of winning the grand prize—a spooky tumbler and a $200 gift certificate to Fredericksburg Tattoo Works!
The turnout was incredible, with 75 tickets sold and nearly $1,000 raised to support Pride Center FXBG and further our mission to positively impact individual and community health. The energy and enthusiasm of our attendees truly made this inaugural event a resounding success. We are beyond grateful for everyone who attended, as well as our dedicated partner and sponsor, Meza, who helped make Queeritiba Nights a reality. And for those who couldn’t make it, keep an eye out—this is just the beginning! Our next Queeritiba Nights event will be in 2025, and we can’t wait to see what surprises are in store.
