WELCOME TO FROOTERS! We're back, and spookier than ever!
Frooters is a queer dance party inspired by the question: what would a gay Hooters look, sound, and feel like?
Our take? It'd be slutty, glittery, and gay! And for Halloween? Spooky!
Whether you see yourself dressed up as an employee or a patron, Frooters is a space of queer connection, expression, and play. By the end of the night, we know that we’ve put on a good show if people have heard their favourite song, broke a sweat dancing, or tasted a frooty little drink.
Featuring the talents of Stefan Fetamean, Cherry Bomb, DJ Ayo, artist Manon Bourgeois, and hosted by the god of good times Dionysus at Toronto's very own anti-café, the Bampot House of Tea, this is one local Halloween dance party you won't want to miss!
WHEN: Saturday, October 26th, 9PM-late
WHERE: Bampot House of Tea, 201 Harbord St
DRESS CODE: slutty, glittery, and gay! Halloween costumes are strongly encouraged!
COST: $10 or PWYC - no one will be turned away for not being able to pay. Please contact us on Instagram @frootersparty or by email at ty.riches@icloud.com if you're PWYC, so we can set aside your ticket!
REMEMBER: bring cash to tip our local queer and trans artists and performers!
WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
As firm believers in collective liberation, we are not free until everyone is free. That is why, as queer event organizers, 50% of ticket profits go to the artists, and 50% of ticket profits go to Palestine. Our last Frooters party raised $100 for the United Nations Relief & Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). This time, we'd like to put this money into direct, grassroots aid. We are in the process of identifying calls for direct aid on the ground in Gaza that the funds we raise could have the biggest impact on. We will publish this list once it is finalized. If you have suggestions, please send them to us at ty.riches@icloud.com.
Free Palestine.
