What is Queer Diwali Ball?
A night of light, love, and liberation.

Join us in celebrating the Festival of Lights: Queer Style! The Queer Diwali Ball brings together electrifying drag artists, a vibrant queer mela marketplace with vendors, and a joyous crowd of over 250 guests expected this year.

This annual event is more than a party, it’s a benefit for Desi Rainbow Parents & Allies, supporting our work
to empower and uplift LGBTQ+ South Asians and their families.
