We’re keeping the same energy, with a bigger and bolder stage. We are throwing our community into the spotlight. We deserve nothing but the best, and refuse to settle for less. Why should our Pride party be different?

Think: a nonstop dance floor, blending beats between classic south asian sing-alongs, pop divas, global club sounds, and dance vibes.

This year, more than ever, we know that our space is integral to our community’s success, and our survival.

We are a space for US – South Asian Queers – to be ourselves. In a world that feels so large and so hard, we are making time for our joy, our fun, and our vibes.

We know not all of us have had the luxury to spend our lives out, loud, and proud. It’s our responsibility to make sure none of our queer family feels alone, ever, and that there is always a space for our Trans and queer brothers, sisters, cousins, community.

This year, RAAT is partnering with The Trevor Project to donate a portion of our proceeds. If you want to increase your contribution – you can add it on to your ticket purchase, or donate at the party.

We party for us, but we also party for THEM. For past and future generations that deserve nothing but the extreme joy of being loved.
