Thank you for supporting Lawrence PRIDE!

Lawrence Cougs, get ready for:

🌈 LOUD & LEGENDARY 🌈

Cougar Club is dedicated to the lovers, performers, fighters, and legends who carved out the spaces where we now dance, love, and exist without apology.

From the revolutionary queens to ballroom brilliance and q***r nightlife magic—this is a celebration of chosen family and radical JOY. To every SHE, GAY & THEY driving the movement forward: this party is for you.

The Vibe:

⚡️ Wild, unapologetic energy on the floor
⚡️ Serving looks & legendary outfits
⚡️ Pure community love all night long

We’re thrilled to lift up Lawrence PRIDE this June. A percentage of ticket sales and onsite fundraising will benefit their vital work right here in Lawrence.

✨Come loud.
✨Come proud.
✨Come authentically you.

👉 Tickets are live now: https://luma.com/4ftr8hp0

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF DATE⚠️
June’s Cougar Club Lawrence date is FRIDAY, JUNE 19th. This allows us to stay at Maceli's Catering & Events and give you more space to groove. Same time, 6:30 to 10:30 pm, so you can still get a good night’s sleep and make it to the Farmer’s Market Saturday morning.
