Sparkle & Sip

Join us for a dazzling evening of drag, glitter, and community joy — all to help bring Friends of Dorothy Café, Alexandria’s first queer, family-friendly café, to life. Together we’ll celebrate queer resilience, build connections, and raise the energy (and funds!) to make this vision a reality.

Dress to impress in your cocktail attire and immerse yourself in a night of dazzling drag performances, a silent auction for one-of-a-kind art pieces and other fabulous items, and a celebration of queer joy. Food + drinks will be available for purchase throughout the evening.

Beyond the glitter, this event has purpose: all proceeds will directly support Friends of Dorothy Café, helping to cover startup costs like renovations, equipment, and community programming. Every dollar raised brings us closer to opening our doors and creating a permanent space where queer & trans families, allies, and neighbors know they belong.
