The Red Gala

This new flagship event will take place on April 20, 2024, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Light House Arts Centre. It will be a semi-formal cocktail social that will recognize ACNS’s lasting legacy, and give a glimpse into what our future holds… complete with a new name and expanded mission! Wear something red, get dressed up and join us.

Legendary Halifax drag performers Rouge Fatale & Deva Station are confirmed as co-hosts for the event. Interspersed throughout The Red Gala evening will be a series of surprise queer performers of various types to join Rouge and Deva for mini-performance sets. The ‘surprise’ factor will keep people on their toes, as they’ll never know what will come next! It might be a stand-up comedian doing a brief set or a singer performing a Broadway classic. And, of course, there’ll be drag. The evening will also feature a silent auction, light catered appetizers, a cash bar and a whole lot more!
