The 2026 Stonewall Ball: Lavender Lounge

The Stonewall Ball has been hosted by Compass LGBTQ+ Community Center for more than two decades. As the premiere Pride event during Pride Month, the Stonewall Ball offers attendees the option to show off their style and support of the community at an event that offers a both a VIP Reception and Dance Party featuring DJ Legato. 

This year’s theme is a speakeasy inspired Velvet Lounge. Guests are encouraged to draw from 1920s-inspired fashion — flapper silhouettes, fringe, tailored suits, suspenders, and classic cocktail looks — and elevate it with jewel-toned colors like emerald, amethyst, sapphire, and deep ruby. This is a space to stand out, not blend in.
