Say “I do” to extravagance, eleganza, and eternal drama — The Something Blue Ball is here to celebrate the sacred, the scandalous, and everything in between. Step into a world where tradition meets subversion, where love isn’t always forever, and where the runway becomes the aisle.

Dress in your boldest interpretations of bridal blues, vow to serve every category like it’s your final walk down the aisle, and prepare for a night of unforgettable battles, performances, and declarations of self-love.

Whether you’re here for your first wedding or your fourth divorce, bring your walk, your house, and your heartbreak. One thing’s for sure: this union will not be quiet.

We also are proud to announce that we will be hosting a screening of A Home Called Vogue by Yazeed Kamaldien at EVOL on 16 August as well. Doors open at 8:30PM and the screening will start promptly at 9M.

A Home Called Vogue is a short documentary film that explores the importance of the Vogue ball scene in Cape Town for its main protagonists, among them dancer and choreographer Kirvan Fortuin.

Fortuin was from Macassar, about 40km from central Cape Town, where he was killed in a hate crime on 13 June 2020. He was 28 years old. The Vogue balls he curated were meant as a safe space, but that was not enough to protect him from hate.

Winner of the Stockholm City Film Festival – Best Short Documentary. Festival selections for 2024 and 2025 include Stockholm City Film Festival (Sweden), New York Istanbul Short Film Festival (Turkey), Golden Bridge Istanbul Short Film Festival (Turkey), QueerCine International Film Festival (Belgium) and Melbourne Queer Film Festival (Australia)

Come and join us and learn about the beautiful ballroom community in Cape Town right before we have a ball of our own.
