Northampton, MA – Get ready to dress up, dance, and celebrate the queer community at the Queer Joy Collaborative’s Winter Ball on January 17th at Smith Vocational High School in Northampton! This festive event is a chance to support the LGBTQ+ community through an evening filled with vibrant performances, dancing, and community connection.

The highlight of the night will be special performances by the Rhythm & Radiance Kids Chorus and the Queer Joy Chorus, bringing warmth and spirit to the new year. Then, hit the dance floor with beats from local DJ Greg Stewart, browse exclusive QJC merchandise, and explore our silent auction with unique items from local creators—all in support of the Queer Joy Collaborative’s work promoting joy, belonging, and creative expression in the queer community.

All ticket sales and auction proceeds will fund the Collaborative’s programs in music, art, and mutual aid. Tickets are on a sliding scale from $0 to $35, and everyone is welcome, regardless of ability to pay. This event is sponsored by Earth Animal pet products and Greenfield Savings Bank.
