The only way to start pride weekend, is with some foreplay.

Initiate your Pride Weekend with Foreplay. Get lubricated from 8pm to midnight with themed cocktails, music by DJ Mowgli, and a two-story dance party. Enter the party on the first level where you'll be greeted by music, cocktails, and plush seating to get in the vibe. When you're ready head downstairs to the Black Box where DJ Mowgli will work his craft amidst black velvet, concrete, and a whole lot of bumping and grinding.

Dress as you desire. The party is an homage of music, dance, and liberation to celebrate 50 years of progress.

Also featured will be a visual arts showcase from 8-9pm in collaboration with Cincinnati Black Pride.

This event wouldn't be possible without the support of Beam Suntory, Artswave Pride, Cincy Black Pride and Fausto.
