STRUT: BSM Pride Party

This is a 19+ event. 

Lace up and show off at STRUT, a Pride celebration that puts fashion, music, and queer joy front and centre at the Bata Shoe Museum. This high-energy evening invites you to dance, celebrate, and express yourself unapologetically in a space where style and self-expression reign supreme.

Soundtracking the night, DJ Sigourney Beaver will be spinning all the Pride anthems—past, present, and iconic—keeping the dance floor moving all evening long. The stage comes alive with electrifying performances by legendary Toronto queens Ayah Conic, STORM, and Who?, bringing charisma, talent, and unforgettable looks. Hosting the night is the incomparable Sucka Queen, guiding the festivities with wit, warmth, and plenty of sparkle.

Between performances, strike a pose at themed photo ops and booths, get creative at the bracelet-making station, and raise a glass at the cash bar. One free drink is included with admission. Whether you’re dancing, crafting, or serving looks for the camera, STRUT is all about celebrating Pride, individuality, and community—your way.
