Indigo Room is back, and this time it’s a Halloween party!

Join us for our signature dance party rooted in Black queer joy, featuring @not_djkp, @sashabangzz, and @bardestafrican (DJ Ibibaby) spinning sounds from across the Black diaspora.

And yes, we want to see you do it big with the costumes, because at 11:30 PM we’re hosting a costume contest with $1,000 in prizes for three winners, presented by @gofreddie. So go all the way and come dressed to win.

This one lands in the month that Culture of Color Collective turns one, so we’re celebrating in a big way, and we want you in the room. Tag the friend you’re bringing and start working on that costume.

See you on the dance floor! taken in Minneapolis, Minnesota by @thehookmpls
