“All-of-the-Gay” Soirée IV: Under the Stars

Description

Join Kind Space for their fourth annual Kind Space Soirée, as we host a social and dress up night full of mocktails, socializing, and even karaoke. "All-of-the-Gay" Soirée is a social event for all those over 18+ in our 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We were so thrilled with the turnout the last three years, and the amount of donated affirming and accessible formal and business wear! So we have made this an annual event, and have moved it back to Pride Week in Ottawa!  We will be serving mocktails, so no alcohol will be served by Kind Space at this event.
This event has a broad dress code including our theme of Galaxy or Stars, or semi-formal; cocktail attire; business casual clothing. The Dress Code is not manditory, and we want you to wear whatever makes YOU feel comfortable, elevated or fancy. But you deserve an excuse to dress, impress, and enjoy a nice evening without needing to spend money.

We also recognize that not all 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals have access to affordable gender affirming formal or semi-formal clothing, but may have a desire to wear or own such clothing. This is why every year Kind Space seeks donations for business and formal attire for our "Out of the Closet" clothing space to provide a selection of these affirming garments to be accessible to those who need it. So either it be a nice outfit for a job interview, a dear friends wedding, or any occasion that requires pazzaz, we will still take it. You can donate anytime during our Drop-In operational hours of 12PM-6PM Wednesday to Friday. You can also drop or pick these donations off anytime before, or during the event. Thank you!

Centretown would like to acknowledge that Ottawa is built on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.

The Anishinaabe Algonquin peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. We also recognize the contributions of Métis, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples have made, both in shaping and strengthening this community in particular, and our province and country as a whole.
