Ring in 2026 at A Big Gay New Year’s Eve — Fêtes by Linda’s queer NYE celebration at Cinderbloc Studios.

This party is all about joy, connection, and creating a safe space where LGBTQIA+ folks (and allies!) can celebrate together. Whether you’re ready to dance until the ball drops or prefer a chill lounge space to snack and chat, the night is designed with you in mind.

A live DJ spinning all night long (DJ NessT in the house!)
Drag performances by Imani, Honey Dewme, and Henrietta Dubet to bring the sparkle
📸 A fabulous photo booth to capture the memories
🍹 Two drink tickets (cider, mocktails, or beer)
🥂 A midnight bubbly toast (alcoholic + non-alcoholic options)
🍴 A grazing table of snacks to keep you going
🪩 Two spaces: a high-energy dance floor + a low-sensory lounge with seating and snacks

✨ Most importantly: this is a safe, queer-centered space to welcome 2026 together.

📍 Location: Cinderbloc Studios, Victoria BC (please note: access is by stairs only, and the staircase is narrow)

🚌 Transit: On a main bus route (#15), so you can leave the car at home

🔞 This is a 19+ event — please bring valid ID

We acknowledge with respect the beautiful and traditional territories of the Lekwungen People, who are now known as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. We honour and respect the enduring relationship these Nations have to this land and the contributions of Indigenous peoples to this community.
