Queer Bar Takeover - The BlackBox

Get ready to light up the night at our Neon Glow Queer Bar Takeover this Saturday at The Black Box! We're turning up the black lights and turning all the way out with glow-in-the-dark body paint, pulsating beats, and uninhibited queer joy. Let your colors shine, dance under the neon haze, and come alive in the glow.
Paint starts early. Dance all night.

Afterparty continues at Q Kansas City—show your wristband for free entry.
It’s not just a party—it’s a full-on glow-up.
