There will be trivia, loads of prizes, food and drinks, and performances from crowd favourite Ariel Drop and glitter from Calamity Tash, plus a few surprise acts we know you’ll love. Then we turn up the music for a dance party and good fabulous fun.
Tickets are $10, with all proceeds going to SARAA.
