The Return Of First Fridays: OFF THE WALL (Holiday Edition)

Off The Wall returns for a special Holiday Edition at Black Sheep.
A new chapter for a party with deep roots in Columbus queer nightlife.

Off The Wall was born out of a long loved First Fridays event that grew into what many remembered as the largest lesbian dance party in the Midwest. It was a space where queer women, trans, non binary and gender expansive community members claimed the dance floor together. It was a place that held joy, resistance, and connection every first Friday.

This Holiday Edition pays homage to that history while evolving the experience for today. Black Sheep is proud to host OTW and continue the tradition of centering queer joy, community connection and the kind of dance floor energy that only this crowd can create.

WHAT TO EXPECT
• A packed room filled with queer joy and signature OTW energy
• Holiday touches and festive looks encouraged
• Music by Dog Mom and Crys Classics
• A space designed for our lesbian, queer women, trans and non binary community
• Gay m4m community is welcomed with love and asked to hold conscious space for the intention of the night

WHY IT MATTERS
The world feels heavy right now. Queer joy is needed more than ever. Off The Wall has always been about reclaiming a space to celebrate each other, dance together, and feel free in our bodies and our community. We want to honor the legacy of the original party and create a night that brings back the magic of First Fridays while inviting a new generation into the experience.

Wear something festive. Bring your crew. Flirt responsibly.
Let’s dance, reconnect, and celebrate the return of a Columbus classic.
