Just A Pop of Color Mini Kiki Ball is more than just a celebration of style and spirit—it's a community gathering designed to uplift and empower. Hosted at Resident Culture – South End, a space dedicated to promoting the absurd to the point of normalization and acceptance, this event showcases the vibrant energy of the Kiki Ballroom Scene.
But it doesn't stop there. This mini ball doubles as a vendor fair providing attendees with valuable connections, opportunities, and resources to thrive. As part of our commitment to community service, a portion of proceeds and donations will benefit RAIN CLT, empowers people living with HIV and those at risk to be healthy and stigma free, and The Drop CLT, providing canned goods and essential supplies to those in need.
In partnership with the Carolina LGBT Chamber of Commerce, this event champions the arts, fosters community engagement, and celebrates diversity. Whether you're here to dance, network, shop, or give back, the Just Bring It Mini Kiki Ball promises an evening of excitement, empowerment, and community spirit.
