Glitter Ball is back for its second year as the sparkliest festival in the city, expanding to include workshops and an art fair in addition to 10 local live acts and one international headliner. All of the acts are fronted by women or gender diverse creators, and many of them are queer people of colour and/or BIPOC.
The festival takes place this year at Celebrities Underground, a place for the queer community in Davie Village. Partners this year include Babelink DJs, DAME (Diversity in Art Music and Entertainment) who will be hosting workshops, and Flavorcel Animation Collective (and guests) hosting an art fair.
