Compass LGBTQ+ Community Center will toast to Pride Month and the organization’s thirty-fifth anniversary at the Annual Stonewall Ball, returning to the Cox Science Center and Museum in West Palm Beach June 24.
You only turn 35 once, and Compass is sparing no effort to make this year’s ball one for the ages. DJ Legato will be spinning all night, with special performances by professional drag performers Melissa St. John, Velvet Lenore, and Rianna Petrone. There will also be a number of other surprises throughout the night.
This year’s Stonewall Ball theme is “Back to Our Future,” which honors the work the LGBTQ+ community has done to secure equality for all. The event theme will be brought to life by Internationally-renowned event designer Bruce Sutka.
