All ages, genders, and orientations are welcome at the Secret Garden Ball, happening on June 3, 2023, at the Corvallis Community Center ballroom. The dance includes live music from queer and trans-led bands (including DoublePlusGood, Caleb Nichols, Grave Saddles, and Jean Shorts Jesus), free refreshments, a photo booth, and other fun attractions.
Admission is a suggested donation of $5-20 at the door, but no one will be turned away for a lack of funds; all money raised from the event will benefit The Trevor Project, a nonprofit that helps LGBTQ+ youth in crisis. Attendees are encouraged to wear fancy or “Secret Garden”-inspired attire, be substance-free, and wear masks.
