LOVE BALL - The Official Opening Night Party of NYC’s Gay Pride ‘09 June 27, 2009

The Saint At Large, gaydom’s premier underground party since 1980, is proud to join The Federation of Ballroom Houses to present LOVE BALL, the Official Opening Night Party of New York City’s Gay Pride Weekend. RuPaul’s Drag Race meets A Chorus Line as the fierce legends and icons of the Harlem Ballrooms battle it out with the chiseled chorus boys, gypsies and go-go gods of Broadway. Set against a dance party, the colorful pageantry and theatrics of a Runway Competition will entertain the Opening Night gala crowd for the world’s biggest Gay Pride Celebration marking the 40th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. Proceeds from LOVE BALL will benefit HERITAGE OF PRIDE.

Features a Song, Dance and Runway Tribute to Judy Garland.

Grammy Award®-nominee DJ/ Producer Chris Cox commands the turntables with rising star Alyson Calagna. DJ Vjuan Allure and commentator Jack Mizrahi bring the authenticity of the Ballroom community to open the subliminal ball featuring over 50 performers walking in three major categories on three separate stages. Surprise musical performances round out what will surely be a stellar night of immersive entertainment open to all.
