August Ball

We are ecstati to announce the return of our original, runway competition show...
The August Ball, created by Augusto Darling, The Clown Monarch, presented by The Starling Co. and hosted by Elite Events.
For the 2nd year in a row, an evening of Queer excellence in Wyoming.  Ballroom culture in our own backyard!  Contestants from across the Equality State are working to create unique fashion pieces to fit this year's 3 categories: Club Kid Couture; Horror Camp Realness; King, Queen, & Everything in-Between of the Ball.  Join us as they strut their stuff--with hosting (and peanut gallery commentary) by Starling, My Darling & Angeliva Quartz Darling...Live performances from Starling Co. family royalty...And live feedback from panel of extra-special guest judges:  Augusto Darling, our show creator!; Shari Kumer, a local and nationally renowned visual artist!; Porcelain Hughes, last year's "Best Overall" winner of the Ball!  But the fun doesn't stop there!  You'll have the opportunity to vote for "Crowd Favorite" and experience the crowning of our winners LIVE.  Come hungry & thirsty--our new, spectacular venue has an in-house kitchen, serving top notch Birria based items, as well as a bar of alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks!
Don't forget to bring dollar bills to tip our performers & hosts.
The August Ball is based in the Ballroom culture pioneered by the Queer & Drag artist elders --mainly POC--that came before us.  This is our love letter & celebration of their work & perseverance.  This is a ministerial service of the Church of Fabulosity, overseen by the ordained minister Starling, My Darling.
