Pride Dance Party
June 12, 8 p.m.
Colburn Park
Across from the Lebanon Opera House

For our 5th annual salute to the LGBTQIA+ community, we’re turning the volume up! This loud and proud dance party puts you in the center of the action. Grab a drink from the cash bar and surround our guest DJs on the LOH stage — or walk the aisles in your best looks — as we transform our theater into the Upper Valley’s hottest pop-up club. The evening’s headliner, DJ Rekha, is a producer, curator, educator, and founder of Basement Bhangra, one of NYC’s longest-running club nights (1997-2017). They’ve shared the stage with Yoko Ono, The Roots, and M.I.A. and performed all around the world. Their dynamic dub and hip-hop informed DJ sets often incorporate South Asian diasporic dance music with an ear toward a global sound that builds inclusive environments of joy. At LOH, Rekha is joined by drag artist Lal Batti…the Brooklyn-based Bollywood traffic‑stopper your mother warned you about and your father secretly follows on Instagram. She’s a neon Desidiva who crossed seven seas, three airports, two immigration officers, and one very confused Uber driver just to ruin your mascara and bless your nightlife.
