Collar City Pride Swann Ball

The Swann Ball honors BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ icon William Dorsey Swann, America's first self-proclaimed Drag Queen and first documented gay rights activist.

The proceeds from the Swann Ball will go to support Collar City Pride's opening of their Downtown Troy LGBTQIA2S+ Community Center! This center will house our Rainbow Bridging Case Management program, weekly groups, monthly meetups, our youth drop-in space, and a hub for our queer community of Rensselaer County.

The ball performances will be produced by Bad Heart Burlesque, featuring a night of not only BIPOC performance production, but a fully BIPOC cast! We will also have a photo booth present for those who would like to memorialize the night and so much more.

Support a local cause at a beautiful, new Downtown Troy Location (Evermore Hall above Illium Brewing) with a cash bar provided by our friends at Illium Brewing, catered appetizers and small plates, community, costumes -- and have a blast doing so!!

Stay tuned for performer announcements.
