Recap: LGBTQ+ & Allies After Hours in Brussels

On November 19th, LGBTQ+ community members and allies gathered in the heart of Brussels for our LGBTQ+ & Allies After Hours - Masquerade Edition, and what an unforgettable evening it was. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this event such a vibrant, welcoming celebration. From the energy in the room to the conversations happening between long-time advocates and new faces alike, the night truly highlighted the strength, joy, and resilience of our community.

We were honored to host the event at Beer Capitale Brussels, a beautiful and central space that created the perfect atmosphere for an evening of connection and celebration. Their team went above and beyond to support the experience from start to finish, and we’re deeply appreciative of their hospitality.

A huge thank-you goes to the incredible talent who lit up the evening. Les Garces curated a phenomenal lineup, featuring Bianca, Pam Ella, and Peach from Drag Race Belgique. Each performance brought its own spark, and the queens’ presence added excitement and warmth that carried through the entire event.

We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors and partners. Your support makes events like this possible, and we’re thankful for your ongoing commitment to uplifting LGBTQ+ communities across Europe and beyond. Your contributions, whether through resources, partnership, or presence, played an essential role in creating a meaningful space for attendees to connect, recharge, and celebrate.
