The LUSH Pride Party is the best and biggest women's pride party the city has to offer. With 4 bars, 2 dance floors, pool lounge, gravity-defying pole dancers, go-go dancers and a state of the art sound and lighting system, the night offers something for every taste.

You will be mesmerized by our gravity-defying pole dancers, titillated by our go-go dancers and in awe of our Mistress of Ceremonies and drag performer Sapphira Cristal. We have three DJs with 3 different sounds throughout the night (see FB page for details).

Doors open at 8 P.M. for 6 hours of entertainment. Advanced tickets are highly recommended to skip the huge line for tix this event has every year.
