Sissy Ball

When

Saturday 24 February 2024 from 6pm to 11pm

Cost

Starting from: $75

The regal and the ravenous will run wild at Sydney Town Hall for the biggest vogue ball in the Southern Hemisphere: Sissy Ball. Godmother of Australian ballroom Kilia continues her reign as Curator to as houses from across the country battle it out for their 10s.

Vogue families born out of safety and necessity find their home on stage as thousands chant their calls for a night of drama, karma and sensation. Born to bridge a bond with houses in Aotearoa, Legendary Mother of Australian Ballroom Benji Ra brought Sissy Ball to the scene in 2018 and is now recognised as a global stage for the excellence, embodiment and fantasy of the ballroom scene down under.

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, who are the traditional owners of the land on which our celebrations are held on. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
