Pride Kick-Off XXXtravaganza
Do you know what time it is, community? It’s the unofficial start of PRIDE SEASON!
At Collar City Pride, we believe Pride is more than just 30 days in June—that’s why our celebration kicks off May 1st and keeps going strong.
We’re starting things off with a bang: an 18+ burlesque and variety show at Refuge in Troy, featuring dancing, drag, and dazzling performances by the Slaughterhouse Collective. Expect to be wowed, teased, and totally entertained—all in support of a great cause.
All ticket sales go directly to support Collar City Pride’s programs, services, and festival. Space is limited, and tickets are on a sliding scale.
