As Pride Month comes to a close, we're taking a moment to appreciate everyone who helps make spaces like this possible: the performers, the volunteers, the organizers, the venues, and the audience members who keep showing up.

This Sunday, join us for the ✨Burlesque & Drag Extravaganza✨ benefiting the ACLU of Kentucky at Al's Bar.

In addition to an evening of burlesque, drag, and variety entertainment, we'll have a silent auction featuring tattoo certificates, massage packages, handcrafted goods, unique experiences, lessons, and all sorts of treasures donated by local businesses and community members.

Bid on something fun. Support a good cause. Cheer loudly for local artists. Everybody wins.
