All the photos from our JOY party

Queer west is alive and well, and JOY proved it!

We did this for the west end. We did this to pay tribute to Joy Nightclub, and all the freaks who make it legendary. A place that fucked things up in queer Toronto nightlife back in the ‘90s and early ‘00s.

We did this because Toronto talent overfloweth and keeps pushing despite a city who tries to silence culture.

Thank you to all the wildly talented designers, artists, installers, DJs, performers, hosts, and to YOU! For coming out and trying something new on Pride Thursday.

‍@callmealbs managed to beautifully capture some of the magic.

Thank you Joy creator @john_wulff for the seal of approval. Thank you @thedrakehotel for the space, our very cute sponsor @altostequila and thank you to our headliners Bambii and Kim Anh who brought the extra special something.

Grab the photos AT THIS LINK and feel free to post, and tag us and your people.

Remember the photo JOY photobooth in the secret room off the rooftop by our favourites at Something Creative?! We've also post ALL THE PHOTOBOOTH IMAGES by the glorious @carolyn_campbell.
