THE VIBE: A PRIVATE OASIS IN TRADERS POINT (46278)

Experience the beautiful, oasis-like home of Sally and Brian S. This is our first "Indoor/Outdoor" event of the year, featuring fresh air, an "Intentionally Welcoming | Wildly Inclusive" spirit, and plenty of easy, free parking directly at the home.

  • Urgency: Space is strictly limited due to the venue's private nature. A sell-out is expected.

  • First-Timer Friendly: Simply follow the laughter—you’ll fit right in whether it’s your 1st event or your 88th.

MEET YOUR HOSTS: SHAPIRO’S HOSPITALITY

Sally and Brian Shapiro, owners of the iconic Shapiro’s Delicatessen, are opening their private doors to the club for the first time! Experience their legendary hospitality as we help thank them for their years of dedicated sponsorship.

Protecting Host Privacy: To ensure the security and exclusivity of our host’s home, the exact address is never published on the web. You will receive the location details instantly in your confirmation email as soon as you reserve your spot.

EVERYONE BELONGS: SOLO GUESTS & NEW FRIENDS

Walking into a crowd can be a leap; we specialize in the "soft landing."

  • First-Timers: Look for our volunteers! We’ll introduce you to friendly regulars immediately. Everyone wears a name tag, so meeting new people is effortless.

  • Solo Guests: A huge portion of our guests arrive solo and leave with a new group of friends.

  • Returning Crew: Life happens—there is zero judgment here. Welcome home!

  • Last-Minute Plans: Spontaneity is always welcome. Tickets stay available online until the party ends, and we can easily process arrivals at the door. If a friend decides to join you at the last second, bring them along!

THEME & SWAG: ROCK YOUR DIVERSITY SPIRIT

Rock your best Pride colors, rainbow accessories, or anything that splashes the room in color! The dress code is Upscale Casual—we recommend a light layer for the evening breeze.

  • Early Bird Reward: The first 50 guests who arrive rocking their Pride spirit receive exclusive homecoming swag to kick off the night!

  • Style Rescue: Forget your colors? Our team handles the rest with a hilarious gag gift to ensure you’re part of the "sea of color" for the party.

  • Spirit Showdown: Bring your A-game! We’ll host a live winner-by-applause contest to crown the most spirited guest in the room.

THE RITUAL: SHAPIRO’S DELI SPREAD & PITCH-IN POURS

We are elevating the evening with a premium spread provided by Shapiro’s Delicatessen! Enjoy a full spread of:

  • Iconic Slider-Sized Sandwiches

  • Artisan Cheese & Fresh Veggie Trays

  • Bite-Sized Desserts

  • Chilled Ice Mountain Spring Water

To keep our "library of pours" and flavors diverse, we ask every guest to contribute ONE of the following to share:

  • A $15 bottle of wine (Traditional or NA).

  • A premium craft beverage (Botanical elixirs, craft sodas, or sparkling ciders).

  • A signature homemade dish (for you chefs out there).

  • A $10 charity donation at the door if you arrive empty-handed.

PURPOSE-DRIVEN IMPACT: BENEFITS DAMIEN CENTER

We are honored to host Alan Witchey, CEO of Damien Center, as our 15-minute Community Matters Speaker.

  • The No-Pressure Promise: No fundraising happens at the party. Leave your checkbook at home!

  • Your Impact: Your $10 ticket includes your donation. This event benefits the Damien Center, providing vital HIV/AIDS care and prevention in Indianapolis.
