Queer East Social Season 4 Kickoff: Spring Fling

Join us at Café ZUZU Pizzeria for Queer East Social Season 4 Kickoff, a joyful evening bringing together Toronto’s queer community, friends, and allies for a playful Spring Fling party.

Expect a lively night inspired by the classic spring dance - awkward fling photo moments, a flower toss, the crowning of Spring Fling Royalty, and of course, a secretly-spiked punch bowl.

Other surprises await throughout the evening...

Whether you come to dance, mingle, or simply celebrate the season with friends old and new, the Queer East Social is all about creating space for connection, joy, and community.

This event proudly supports Friends of Ruby, our 2026 charitable partner dedicated to supporting the well-being of 2SLGBTQIA+ youth in Toronto.

On the Beats: DJ ThirdEye
Host + Drag Performance: To be announced... Stay Tuned

In partnership with Friends of Ruby, guests can create their own mini spring bouquet while supporting a great cause.
