The Summer’s Ending Mini Kiki Ball is a chance to get outside and have some fun one last time before the school schedule kicks in. There will be food, drink, STI screening, and voter registration available for all attendees.

This event is designed with the ballroom and KiKi ballroom community in mind, also expanding to all folks of queer experience–primarily of color–in Pittsburgh who may be in need of community, expression, and support. The event will also field already engaged students of queer experience from nearby universities–such as CMU, Pitt, Duquesne, and Chatham–to engage the city’s more transient queer population.

The Pittsburgh Kiki Wave events promote programming that reduces harm, encourages community ties, spurs creative expression, and introduces civic engagement to the conversation for our queer communities so affected by our politicized identities. This programming comes in multiple forms including but not limited to balls, cultural-historical sessions and queer town halls.
