📅 Wednesday, September 13th
⏰ 10 pm – 2 am
📍 Julia’s on Broadway: 300 Broadway E, Seattle

Ball culture combines self-expression with community for trans and queer people of color. And according to its liner notes, Beyoncé’s Renaissance album is an homage to her Uncle Johnny. “He was my godmother and the first person to expose me to a lot of the music and culture that serve as inspiration for this album,” she wrote.
Strike A Pose, a monthly “mini-ball series” held by Julian Lanvin, will pay homage to the Queen with looks inspired by Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour at the Club Renaissance Ball, held the night before Beyoncé comes to Seattle. If you haven’t got tickets to the show at Lumen Field, you’ve got two chances to win tickets here.

Organizers of this independent fan event promise a menu featuring themed specialty drinks and food that honor the Queen Bee. Pre-party attendees can also snap Renaissance-themed photos while a live DJ spins. “Best dressed and door prizes will be given throughout the evening,” writes Press Box.
Tickets to this event also include a post-concert extravaganza at Press Box that goes until the bar closes, so the party doesn’t have to stop. Did someone say, “We gon’ f*ck up the night?” If you couldn’t snag tickets to Lumen Field, don your silver swag to become part of the human disco ball at this Bey Bash.

As one of the last shows in Beyoncé’s tour, which started in Sweden, Seattle has the unique opportunity to help end the Summer Renaissance before the Queen returns to her castle. (And until she comes back with Act 2.) Remember, this revival is planned for three acts. So, if this album was the Setup, the hive has yet to witness the Confrontation and Resolution……
