Benefiting the Montrose Center:
Empowering LGBTQIA+ Houston since 1978
One of the leading full-service LGBTQIA+ centers in the nation, we are proud to support all aspects of our community - youth, seniors, gender services, HIV prevention and support, mental health services & community center.
Leather & Lace Cocktail Attire:
As Houston's LGBTQ+ center, self-expression is valued over strict adherence to a dress code. You are welcome to come in drag, something sparkly, or however you wish to express your identity. Dress to impress, whatever that means to you. For our 2025 event, we encourage guests to wear leather, lace, and/or black cocktail attire.
Parking:
Guests are encouraged to carpool or to hire a ride-hailing service. On-site $37 valet and $19 self parking.
