Latin Night Salsa Thursday

Open stage drag competition hosted by Medusha where local performers compete and the crowd decides who brings it best. Unpredictable, unpolished, and exactly the point — this is where a drag newbie and a seasoned queen can share the same stage. Showtime 8:30 PM, 21+.

Every Wednesday, Anthem turns back the clock with 80s, 90s, 2000s hits and showtunes that'll have you singing and dancing all night. Sip on $5 wine and $6 Jack & Jack flavors during Whiskey and Wine Wednesday specials while the music takes you on a journey through decades of iconic throwbacks. Free entry, no cover, just good music and that Anthem energy.

Thursday nights at Anthem Orlando belong to salsa and bachata — free beginner-friendly lessons kick off at 8:30 PM with no partner or experience needed, then the floor opens up to a rotating mix of salsa, bachata, rumba, and cha-cha. It's the kind of welcoming dance social where total beginners and seasoned dancers move together, meet people, and actually have fun. Stick around after 10 PM for DJ Jery's reggaeton and Latin pop set. Presented by AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

Thursday nights at Anthem belong to Latin Music Night — reggaeton, bachata, merengue, and Latin pop from 10 PM until 2:30 AM. Free cover, $20 all-you-can-drink wells, $5 shots, and a mixed queer crowd that actually dances. DJ Jery keeps the floor moving all night in downtown Orlando's heart.

Sapphic Fridays suits up for a full burlesque showcase with a superhero twist — hosted by Sir Gorgeous with DJ Nani Soul keeping the dance floor moving until close. Expect live performances by L.A. The King, Sir Gorgeous, Lady Brii Adonis and Alyx Wyld, plus a crowd of women, femmes and sapphic energy ready to celebrate. Dressing up is encouraged but never required; capes optional, confidence mandatory. 21+, 10 PM to 2:30 AM.
