LESBEAUX is the sapphic dance party that actually delivers — rotating DJs, go-go dancers, drag performances, and local vendors setting up shop (think tooth gems, embroidery, caricatures). It's the kind of night where the dance floor is packed with people who showed up for each other. Happens on the 4th Thursday of every month. 21+.
